                             OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   Gordon King appeals his conviction and five month sentence for
driving under the influence of alcohol in a third or subsequent
offense, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 13 (1994), assimilating Va. Code
Ann. § 18.2-266 (Michie 1998), and unlawfully refusing to submit to
a breathalyzer test, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 3118 (1994).

   King raises two issues on appeal. First, King argues the evidence
was insufficient to sustain his convictions. A challenge to the suffi-
ciency of the evidence is reviewed to determine whether, viewing the
evidence in the light most favorable to the Government, substantial
evidence exists to support a verdict. Glasser v. United States, 315
U.S. 60, 80 (1942). The testimony of the Government’s witness,
viewed in the light most favorable to the Government, was sufficient
to sustain King’s convictions. United States v. Beidler, 110 F.3d
1064, 1067 (4th Cir. 1997).

   Second, King argues the stop of his vehicle violated the Fourth
Amendment. King has waived review of this claim by his failure to
bring this challenge in district court. United States v. Ricco, 52 F.3d
58, 62 (4th Cir. 1995).

  Accordingly, we affirm King’s conviction and sentence. We dis-
pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not significantly aid the decisional process.
