PER CURIAM:

     Claude Ray appeals his jury convictions for possession of a

firearm   by   a   convicted   felon       in   violation   of   18   U.S.C.A.

§ 922(g)(1) (West 2000) and possession of marijuana with intent to

distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C.A. 841(a)(1) (West 1999).              The

court sentenced Ray to eighty-eight months’ imprisonment on the

firearm conviction and sixty months’ imprisonment on the drug con-

viction. On appeal, Ray attacks the sufficiency of the evidence to

support the jury’s verdict.        We have reviewed the record, and

viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government,

we find sufficient evidence to support Ray’s convictions.                  See

Glasser v. United States, 
315 U.S. 60
, 80 (1942).

     Accordingly, we affirm Ray’s convictions and sentences.               We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                                      AFFIRMED
