                              OPINION

PER CURIAM:

    Tyrone Jackson appeals his convictions for armed bank robbery
under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a)(d) (2001), brandishing a firearm during a
crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(iii) (2001), and aid-
ing and abetting under 18 U.S.C. § 2 (2000), and his subsequent 144-
month sentence. On appeal, Jackson asserts the evidence was insuffi-
cient to sustain his convictions. Finding no reversible error, we
affirm.

   In reviewing a sufficiency of the evidence claim on appeal, we
must sustain the verdict if the record contains "substantial evidence,
taking the view most favorable to the Government, to support it."
Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 80 (1942). Applying this stan-
dard, we give due regard to the fact finder's prerogative to resolve
questions of credibility. United States v. Burgos, 94 F.3d 849, 862-63
(4th Cir. 1996). With these principles in mind, we conclude the Gov-
ernment presented sufficient evidence for a reasonable trier of fact to
find Jackson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the charges against
him.

   Accordingly, we affirm Jackson's convictions and sentence. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argu-
ment would not aid the decisional process.
                                                          AFFIRMED
