possessed heroin with intent to distribute.

Our review of the

trial transcript convinces us the evidence was sufficient to convict. See United States v. Alerre, 430 F.3d 681, 693 (4th Cir.

2005), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 1925 (2006) (discussing standard of review for denial of motion filed under Fed. R. Crim. P. 29); United States v. Collins, 412 F.3d 515, 519 (4th Cir. 2005) (discussing elements of possession with intent to distribute). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
