Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
Rohan Walters appeals from a 405-month sentence imposed fol-
lowing his convictions for conspiracy to possess with the intent to
distribute and to distribute marijuana,
21 U.S.C.A. § 846(West
Supp. 1998), possession with the intent to distribute marijuana,
21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) (West 1981), conspiracy to launder money
instruments,
18 U.S.C.A. § 1956(a) and (h) (West Supp. 1999),
conducting a financial transaction to promote a specified unlawful
activity,
18 U.S.C.A. § 1956(a)(1)(A)(i) (West Supp. 1999), con-
ducting a financial transaction to conceal the proceeds of a speci-
fied unlawful activity,
18 U.S.C.A. § 1956(a)(1)(B)(i) (West Supp.
1999), and making a false statement in an application for a pass-
port,
18 U.S.C.A. § 1542(West Supp. 1999). Walters challenges the
district court’s denial of his motions for judgment of acquittal.
In support of his assertions of error, Walters attacks the credi-
bility of an FBI agent and contends that the government failed to
link him to the wire transfers that formed the basis of the money
laundering charges. Because we conclude that his convictions were
supported by sufficient evidence, we find no reversible error and
affirm Walters’ convictions and sentence. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
