TACHA, Circuit Judge.
Defendants Kenneth and Shirley Hutchings each plead guilty to one charge of manufacturing marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and were each sentenced to forty months imprisonment and a five-year supervised release. They appeal from the district court’s denial of their motion to suppress evidence. The defendants claim that law enforcement officers collected evidence against them in a manner prohibited by both the Posse Comitatus Act and the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. We take jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm.
