MEMORANDUM**

2
Jose Ismael Ochoa appeals his convictions for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) and being a felon in possession of an unregistered firearm in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d).  Ochoa contends that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions.  We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.1

3
Ochoa did not move for judgment of acquittal at trial and thus has failed to preserve his contention on appeal.  See United States v. Hanson, 2 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir.1993);  United States v. Reyes-Alvarado, 963 F.2d 1184, 1187 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 890 (1992).  Therefore, we will only review the sufficiency of the evidence to prevent "a manifest miscarriage of justice."  Hanson, 2 F.3d at 945 (citation omitted);  see also Reyes-Alvarado, 963 F.2d at 1187.   Because Ochoa has not shown that a failure to reverse his convictions will result in "a manifest miscarriage of justice," we will not address his contention.  See Hanson, 2 F.3d at 945;  Reyes-Alvarado, 963 F.2d at 1187.
