Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. CR-H-95-87-11

November 21, 1996
Before GARWOOD, JOLLY, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges:
PER CURIAM:*
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
96-20077
-2-
Hernando Chaverra appeals his conviction for conspiracy to
possess cocaine with the intent to distribute. As his sole issue
on appeal, Chaverra challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to
support his conviction. Having reviewed the record and the
briefs of the parties, we hold that the evidence was sufficient
for a reasonable jury to find Chaverra guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt. See United States v. Crain, 33 F.3d 480, 487-88 (5th Cir.
1994), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 1142 (1995).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Chaverra’s appeal, No. 96-20153,
be SEVERED from that of his codefendant, Jesse Gallego, No. 96-
20077.
AFFIRMED; APPEALS SEVERED.
47.5.4.
