                      USDC No. M-98-CR-264-1

                           March 8, 2001

Before FARRIS,* JOLLY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:**

     Roger Goldenberg appeals his convictions for conspiracy to

possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession with

intent    to   distribute    cocaine,   and   Susan   Salinas   appeals   her

conviction for possession with intent to distribute cocaine.              The

only question in this case is the sufficiency of the evidence

against the two appellants.         The evidence is overwhelming with

     *
      Circuit Judge of the Ninth Circuit, sitting by designation.
     **
      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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
regard to Goldenberg.    Although the evidence is perhaps less

compelling with respect to Salinas, the evidence was nevertheless

sufficient for a reasonable jury to conclude that she engaged in

conduct that aided and abetted the criminal venture in this case.

Therefore, the convictions of both appellants are

                                                    A F F I R M E D.
