June 26, 1998
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellants Roberto Torres and James Mata appeal their
convictions for conspiracy to possess with the intent to
distribute marijuana and for carrying a firearm during and in
relation to a drug-trafficking offense. Appellant Mata also
appeals his convictions for being a felon in possession of a
firearm and for possessing an unregistered firearm. The
Appellants argue that the evidence was insufficient to support
their convictions.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties
and hold that the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury
to find the Appellants guilty of the offenses beyond a
reasonable doubt. United States v. Restrepo, 994 F.2d 173, 182
(5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
