January 5, 1999
Before KING, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ronald Mack Maxwell appeals from his conviction of carrying
a firearm during and in connection with a drug offense. Maxwell
contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his
conviction. We conclude that the evidence was sufficient for the
jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Maxwell knowingly
carried a pistol in the console of his car during and in
connection with his drug-trafficking offense. See United States
v. Muscarello, 106 F.3d 636, 638 (5th Cir. 1997), aff’d, 118 S.
Ct. 1911 (1998).
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 97-20974
