for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:00-CR-77-1
--------------------
June 6, 2002
Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Carl Ester Beck appeals the judgment of the district court

base and distribution of cocaine base. Bobby Dewayne Jones
appeals the judgment of the district court following his
conviction for conspiracy to distribute cocaine base and
distribution of cocaine base near a school.

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 01-40703
-2-
Beck argues that the evidence was insufficient to support
his conspiracy conviction. Beck has not shown that the evidence
adduced at trial, when viewed in the light most favorable to the
verdict, was insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
he was involved with a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine.
See United States v. Ortega-Reyna,
148 F.3d 540, 543 (5th Cir.
1998); United States v. Dukes,
139 F.3d 469, 474 (5th Cir. 1998).
Beck also argues that the district court erred in sentencing him
based on its finding that he committed an offense involving crack
cocaine. He has not shown error in connection with his sentence.
See United States v. Vital,
68 F.3d 114, 120 (5th Cir. 1995).
Jones argues that the evidence was insufficient to support
his conspiracy conviction. He has not shown that the evidence
adduced at trial, when viewed in the light most favorable to the
verdict, was insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
he was involved with a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine.
See
Ortega-Reyna, 148 F.3d at 543. The judgments of the district
court are AFFIRMED.
