Summary Calendar.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
Decided Nov. 28, 2005.
James Lee Turner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for PlaintiffAppellee.
G. Rudolph Garza, Jr., Corpus Christi, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
Before JONES, WIENER, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Defendant-Appellant Javier Long appeals his conviction following a jury trial for being a felon in possession of firearms. He contends that the district court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a search warrant, arguing that the affidavit in support of probable cause was a "bare bones" affidavit. Long fails to establish that the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule does not apply. See United States v. Cavazos, 288 F.3d 706, 709 (5th Cir.2002); United States v. McKnight, 953 F.2d 898, 904-05 (5th Cir.1992).
Long's assertion that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction is likewise unavailing. Testimony established that Long's car was observed outside 1434 Gavilan prior to the search, that he possessed a key to the front door, that he knew the whereabouts of the key to the safe containing firearms, and that the safe contained a car alarm that matched one on his key chain. Viewing this evidence in the light most favorable to the government, and employing some common sense, we are convinced that the evidence supports the jury's finding that Long had knowledge of and access to the firearms inside the residence at 1434 Gavilan. See United States v. Mergerson, 4 F.3d 337, 349 (5th Cir.1993).
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
