PER CURIAM:
Jimmy L. Weddle appeals his convictions for making false
statements and misuse of Social Security numbers in violation of 18
U.S.C. § 1001 (2000), and 42 U.S.C. §§ 408(a)(4), 408(a)(7)(B)
(2000). On appeal, Weddle claims there is insufficient evidence to
support his convictions. We have reviewed those portions of the
transcript submitted to the court and conclude otherwise. Weddle’s
submission of multiple false Social Security numbers, his willful
deception regarding his incarceration at the Russell County Jail,
and his false statement regarding his status as a convicted felon
are all indicative of his fraudulent intent, the essential element
he claims is lacking in the Government’s evidence. Accordingly, we
conclude, there is sufficient evidence for a reasonable trier of
fact to find Weddle guilty of the charged offenses. See United
States v. Lomax, 293 F.3d 701, 705 (4th Cir. 2002). We affirm the
judgment of the district court.
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
