WALTERS, Chief Judge.

Manuel Ramirez was convicted of possession of a controlled substance (heroin) based upon evidence seized from the front seat of his parked vehicle.

He also avers that the court abused its discretion by imposing a sentence more severe than that recommended by the state. We affirm.
