Before JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges, and RESTANI*, Judge.
PER CURIAM:** In this direct, criminal appeal, Harris challenges his conviction and sentence and raises the following points of error: 1. The district court abused its discretion by failing to * Judge, U.S. Court of International Trade, sitting by designation. ** Pursuant to 5TH CIR.

R. 47.5.4. adopt Harris’s proposed jury instruction on unanimity; 2. The evidence was insufficient to support a conviction on the twelve offenses charged; 3.
