Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     In appealing his jury-trial conviction, under 18 U.S.C. §

2312, for interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle, Glen

Dale Horner challenges the sufficiency of the evidence.        The

Government had to prove:    there was a stolen vehicle; Horner knew

it was stolen; and Horner transported the vehicle in interstate

commerce.   See United States v. Webster, 750 F.2d 307, 339 (5th

     *
      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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
Cir. 1984), cert. denied, 471 U.S. 1106 (1985).   Horner challenges

the Government’s proof regarding the second and third elements.

     Pursuant to our review of the record and briefs, the evidence

was sufficient for a reasonable jury to find, beyond a reasonable

doubt, that Horner stole a truck in Texas and drove it across state

lines to Louisiana.   See United States v. Lopez, 74 F.3d 575, 577

(5th Cir.), cert. denied, 517 U.S. 1228 (1996).

                                                     AFFIRMED
