          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Eastern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 6:02-CR-17-1
                       --------------------

Before BARKSDALE, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Bruce Lee, Jr., appeals his conviction of conspiracy to

possess with intent to distribute cocaine and using and carrying of

a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.      Lee argues

on appeal that the district court erred in denying his motion to

suppress evidence seized both incident to a warrantless arrest and

as the result of a search of his residence pursuant to a warrant.

     The district court correctly determined that officers entered

        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined

R. 47.5.4.

third party with actual or apparent authority to consent.     See

United States v. Jaras, 86 F.3d 383, 389 (5th Cir. 1996).     The

district court was also correct in its determination that the

search of Lee’s residence was based upon objectively reasonable,

good-faith reliance upon a search warrant.   See United States v.

Satterwhite, 980 F.2d 317, 320 (5th Cir. 1992).

     AFFIRMED.
