Plaintiff-Appellee,

ANTHONY LEON CEPHUS, also known as Anthony L. Cephus,

Defendant-Appellant.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. W-97-CR-62-1 - - - - - - - - - -

October 21, 1999

Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Anthony Leon Cephus appeals the district court’s revocation

of his supervised release. He argues that the district court

abused its discretion in revoking his supervised release because

the Government failed to offer sufficient evidence to establish a

nexus between himself and the plastic bag containing the “crack”

condition of his supervised release.

(e)(3);

United States v. McCormick,

(5th Cir. 1995).

This court reviews the district court’s decision for an abuse of

discretion.

In considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the

evidence, this court views “the evidence and all reasonable

inferences that may be drawn from the evidence in a light most

favorable to the government." United States v. Alaniz-Alaniz,

(5th Cir. 1994) (internal citation omitted). This

court does not pass on a district court's determination as to

the credibility of the witnesses.

. Accepting all

reasonable credibility choices that tend to support the judge’s

decision, the evidence, when viewed in its entirety, is

sufficient to establish that Cephus violated the conditions of

his supervised release. United States v. Cardenas,

(5th Cir. 1984).

AFFIRMED.
