1Opinion of the Court

ROBERT MADDEN HILL, Circuit Judge:

Melchor De Los Santos was arrested on October 29,1985, for possession with intent to distribute heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Following the district court’s denial of both a motion to suppress the seized heroin and a motion to reveal the identity of a confidential informant, De Los Santos entered a conditional plea of guilty pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(a)(2). In accordance with this conditional plea, De Los Santos now appeals the denial of his suppression and disclosure motions. Finding that the district court committed no error, we affirm.
