Before SNEED, BEEZER and TROTT, Circuit Judges.


SNEED, Circuit Judge:

Jair de Jesus Mejia appeals his conviction on one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Mejia contests the trial court's adverse rulings on his motion to suppress evidence. He also contends the court erred in refusing to depart downward from the Sentencing Guidelines, and argues that the court's failure to grant him his right of allocution constitutes reversible error. We affirm.
