UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Alberto FERRERA-ORTIZ, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 03-10467.

D.C. No. CR-02-00127-RLH/LRL.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted June 15, 2004.*

Decided June 18, 2004.

Daniel G. Bogden, Office of the U.S. Attorney, Las Vegas, NV, for PlaintiffAppellee.

Thomas F. Pitaro, Las Vegas, NV, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before HAWKINS, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM**

The district court did not err by denying Ferrera-Ortiz’s motion to suppress. Based on the totality of the information known to officers at the time of the search, the police had probable cause to believe Ferrera-Ortiz’s car contained contraband. See Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238, 103 S.Ct. 2317, 76 L.Ed.2d 527 (1983). The *248warrantless search was therefore permissible under the automobile exception. See California v. Acevedo, 500 U.S. 565, 580, 111 S.Ct. 1982, 114 L.Ed.2d 619 (1991).

AFFIRMED.
