Affirmed

In hearing on petition to revoke defendant’s supervised release, Dist. Ct. did not err in considering drug evidence, even though defendant argued that said evidence should have been excluded because it was obtained during unconstitutional search of defendant’s car following arrest on traffic offense, where defendant argued that said arrest lacked probable cause. Under Scott, 524 U.S. 357, Dist. Ct. could properly find that exclusionary rule does not apply to evidence introduced at supervised-release-revocation hearings. Ct. further noted that exclusionary rule does not apply to evidence presented at sentencing.
