2                      UNITED STATES v. BANKS
                              OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   Leonard A. Banks was initially convicted to eighty-seven months
incarceration for possession with intent to distribute eighty-four
grams of cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(B)(iii)
(2000). Banks appealed, and the Government cross-appealed. On
Banks’ prior appeal, we affirmed his conviction but vacated his sen-
tence and remanded for resentencing. Banks was resentenced to 135
months incarceration, 5 years supervised release, and a $100 special
assessment.

   Banks appeals, raising three issues. First, Banks argues his 135
month sentence is erroneous under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 

, 490 (2000). We review this claim for harmless error. United
State v. Stokes, 

, 499 (4th Cir. 2001). This claim is merit-
less. Banks cannot establish his 135 month sentence violates
Apprendi. 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(B)-(C) (2000); United States v.
Promise, 

, 152 (4th Cir. 2001) (en banc), cert. denied,
__ U.S. __, 

 (2002); United States v. Angle, 

, 518 (4th Cir. 2001) (en banc); United States v. Kinter, 

, 201 (4th Cir. 2000), cert. denied, 

 (2001).

   Second, Banks argues the evidence was insufficient to establish his
liability for eighty-four grams of cocaine base by challenging the
credibility of a Government witness. We review this claim for clear
error. United States v. Anjou, 

, 614 (4th Cir. 1994). This
claim is meritless. Witness credibility is not subject to appellate
review. United States v. Saunders, 

, 60 (4th Cir. 1989).

   Third, Banks argues the district court erred in allegedly denying his
motion for new counsel. Because Banks failed to renew his objection
when given an opportunity to do so at his resentencing hearing, we
review his claim for plain error. United States v. Bollin, 

,
419-20 & n.20 (2001). Banks has not demonstrated that the retention
of his counsel affected the outcome of the proceedings in any way;
the claim is therefore meritless. United States v. Olano, 

,
734 (1993).
                      UNITED STATES v. BANKS                      3
  Accordingly, we affirm Banks’ conviction and sentence. We dis-
pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not significantly aid the decisional process.
