Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Hunter Vaughan Eure pled guilty, pursuant to a conditional plea agreement, to possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252(a)(4)(B), 2256(1) & (2) (2012). The district court sentenced Eure to 24 months' imprisonment. On appeal, Eure challenges the denial of his pretrial motion to suppress.
In United States v. McLamb, 880 F.3d 685 (4th Cir. 2018), we addressed a substantially similar challenge to the same warrant at issue here and concluded that, even if the warrant was unconstitutional, the good faith exception precluded suppression of the evidence. Id. at 689-90. To the extent that any of Eure's arguments are not expressly addressed by McLamb, we have considered those claims and find them to be without merit.
Accordingly, we affirm the criminal judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
