PER CURIAM:*

Frederick Buchanan appeals his conviction for distribution of cocaine base pursuant to

(a)(1). He argues that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support a conviction. The district court did not err in refusing to grant Buchanan’s motion for judgment of acquittal. The evidence was sufficient to support his conviction, as a reasonable trier of fact could have found that the evidence established his guilt

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. beyond a reasonable doubt. See United States v. Gonzalez,

(5th Cir. 1996). AFFIRMED.
