PER CURIAM:
Norwell Calvin Dance was convicted following a jury trial of
conspiracy to distribute marijuana and “crack” cocaine in violation
of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (1994) (one count), distribution of marijuana in
violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (1994) (five counts), conspiracy
to accept a bribe by a public official and to introduce controlled
substances into a penal institution in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371
(1994) (one count), introduction of marijuana into a penal institu-
tion in violation of 22 D.C. Code Ann. § 2603 (five counts), and
acceptance of a bribe by a public official in violation of 18
U.S.C. § 201(b)(2)(C) (1994) (two counts). Dance timely appealed.
On appeal, Dance challenges the sufficiency of the evidence,
contending that the evidence was circumstantial and that the Gov-
ernment’s witnesses were not credible. Those challenges fail be-
cause we may not weigh the evidence or review the credibility of
the witnesses. See United States v. Wilson, 118 F.3d 228, 234 (4th
Cir. 1997).
Accordingly, we affirm Dance’s convictions. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid in the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
