steal NationsBank’s money.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties and
conclude that sufficient evidence existed to support the jury’s
finding that (1) Hicks made fraudulent representations to
NationsBank, see United States v. Hord, 6 F.3d 276, 285 (5th Cir.
1993), and (2) Hicks possessed the specific intent to commit both
crimes, see United States v. Khamis, 674 F.2d 390, 393-94 (5th Cir.
1992). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
