OPINION AND ORDER


Salvador Rocha is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3). Mr. Rocha moves to suppress all statements he made to government agents. A hearing on a motion to suppress is necessary only when the defendant demonstrates that there is a "significant, disputed factual issue." United States v. Harris, 914 F.2d 927, 933 (7th Cir. 1990) (quoting United States v. Sophie, 900 F.2d 1064, 1071 (7th Cir. 1990)). If the facts alleged by the defendant would not entitle him to relief then no hearing is needed to decide the motion. See id. Mr. Rocha has alleged no facts entitling him relief, so no hearing can be justified. His motion [Doc. No. 16] is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
