Our review of the record discloses no errors that warrant reversal. See United States v. Doucette, 979 F.2d 1042, 1044-45 (5th Cir. 1992). Because Mateo has shown no error, his cumulative-error contention is without merit. See United States v. Neal, 27 F.3d 1035, 1052 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, Mateo’s conviction is AFFIRMED.
