LITTLE OPINION PER CURIAM: Ralphele Lamont Little appeals his conviction following a jury trial of bank robbery, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113(a) (West 2001); bank robbery with a dangerous weapon, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113(d); carrying and bran- dishing a firearm in a crime of violence, 18 U.S.C.A. § 924(c)(1)(A)(ii) (West 2001); possession of a firearm by a felon, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (2000); and aiding and abetting the same, 18 U.S.C. § 2 (2000). Finding no reversible error, we affirm. On appeal, Little contends the evidence at trial was insufficient to support his convictions for carrying and brandishing a firearm in a crime of violence and possession of a firearm by a felon. Taking the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government, we find a rea- sonable trier of fact could have found Little guilty beyond a reason- able doubt. See Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 80 (1942). Little next contends the district court erred in providing the jury with an extensive supplemental instruction regarding possession. Because Little did not object to the instruction, review is for plain error. See United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732-35 (1993). We find no error, plain or otherwise. Accordingly, we affirm Little’s conviction. 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
