ALEXANDER JACKSON,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

Before JONES, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Alexander Jackson appeals his conviction by a jury for

evidence was insufficient to establish that the item in question

in question was in fact a “firearm.” See United States v.
Blevinal, 607 F.2d 1124, 1128 (5th Cir. 1979); United States v.
Seastrunk, 580 F.2d 800, 802 (5th Cir. 1978). Consequently, the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
