    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    CLAUDE RAY,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Jerome B. Friedman, District Judge.
    (CR-00-172)

    Submitted:

    October 24, 2001

    Decided:

    November 26, 2001

    Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    William P. Robinson, Jr., ROBINSON, NEELEY & ANDERSON, Norfolk,
    Virginia, for Appellant. Kenneth E. Melson, United States Attorney, James Ashford Metcalfe, Assistant United States Attorney,
    Thomas Scott Liverman, Third Year Law Student, Norfolk, Virginia,
    for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Claude Ray appeals his jury convictions for possession of a
    firearm

    by

    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 conviction. On appeal, Ray attacks the sufficiency of the evidence to
    support the jurys verdict.

    We have reviewed the record, and

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


    we find sufficient evidence to support Rays convictions.

    See

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


    Accordingly, we affirm Rays 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
