PER CURIAM:

     Patsy Partin Salmon appeals her conviction for bankruptcy

fraud and the aiding and abetting of bankruptcy fraud in violation

of 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 2, 152(7) (West 2000).   Salmon contends that the

district court erred in denying her motion under Fed. R. Crim. P.

29, to set aside the verdict and for judgment of acquittal, in

which she argued that there was insufficient evidence to support

the verdict.    We affirm.

     To determine whether there was sufficient evidence to support

a conviction, this court considers whether, taking the evidence in

the light most favorable to the government, any reasonable trier of

fact could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable

doubt.     Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 80 (1942); United

States v. Burgos, 94 F.3d 849, 862 (4th Cir. 1996).       We grant

Salmon’s motion to file a supplemental joint appendix. We have re-

viewed the record and the briefs and find that there was sufficient

evidence to support Salmon’s conviction for bankruptcy fraud and

the aiding and abetting of bankruptcy fraud. Accordingly, we affirm

Salmon’s conviction.    We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
