UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Brian D. SETENCICH, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 00-10445.
    D.C. No. CR-98-05389-OWW.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted Sept. 10, 2001.
    Decided Dec. 13, 2001.
    
      Before REINHARDT, HAWKINS and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

In reviewing the denial of a motion for a new trial, we will find an abuse of discretion by the district court only “in exceptional circumstances in which the evidence weighs heavily against the verdict.” See United States v. Chen, 754 F.2d 817, 821 (9th Cir.1985). Appellant has failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances. To the contrary, there was sufficient evidence in the record to support Appellant’s conviction.

AFFIRMED.
