          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. C-00-CR-201-1
                      --------------------
                           May 2, 2001

Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Jaime Reyna-Salinas appeals his conviction following a bench

trial on two counts of aiding and abetting the transportation of

an unlawful alien within the United States in violation of

8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii), (a)(1)(B)(ii) and 18 U.S.C. § 2.

He argues that the evidence in support of the district court’s

finding of guilt was insufficient.

     The district court’s finding of guilt is supported by

substantial evidence.   United States v. Ceballos-Torres, 218 F.3d

409, 411 & 411 n.3 (5th Cir. 2000)(quotations and citation
