adverse disposition of his pretrial m otion to suppress evidence. The district court
imposed a term of three years' probation. Ward appeals. Having carefully reviewed
the record, the well-reasoned opinion of the magistrate judge, which was adopted by
the district court, and the br iefs filed on appeal in this court, we find no basis for
reversal. See United States v. Esquivias, 416 F.3d 696, 699 (8th Cir. 2005) (standard
of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
