1Opinion of the Court
E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge:
Gabriel Cardenas was convicted by a jury for possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). The trial court, however, granted a post-verdict judgment of acquittal on the ground that there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict. The government has appealed. Finding that the record does contain sufficient evidence to support the defendant’s conviction, we reverse and remand the case for the reinstatement of the jury verdict of guilty.
