See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Martin E. Williams appeals his conviction following a bench trial of one count of conspiracy to distribute 500 or more grams of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2000).

Williams’s sole claim on appeal is that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his conviction.

In reviewing a sufficiency of the evidence claim, a guilty verdict “must be sustained if there is substantial evidence, taking the view most favorable to the government, to support the finding of guilt.” Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 80 (1942); United States v. Burgos, 94 F.3d 849, 862 (4th Cir. 1996) (en banc). In resolving issues of substantial evidence, this Court does not weigh evidence or review witness credibility. United States v. Romer, 148 F.3d 359, 364 (4th Cir. 1998).

We find the evidence, when viewed in its entirety and in the light most favorable to the government, is sufficient to support Williams’s conspiracy conviction. Accordingly, we affirm.

We deny Williams leave to file a pro se supplemental brief. 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.
