                             June 8, 1999

Before JOLLY, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Yaminah   McAfee   appeals   her   conviction    for    conspiracy   to

possess cocaine base with the intent to distribute, in violation of

21 U.S.C. § 846; possession of cocaine base with the intent to

distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1); employment of a

minor to   distribute   cocaine    base,   in    violation   of   21   U.S.C.

§ 861(a)(1); and felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of

Eddie Hannibal was not patently unbelievable or incredible, McAfee

has failed to show that a reasonable trier of fact could not have

found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.    United States v. Lopez,
