1Opinion of the CourtArmstrong, C.J.
Following a jury-waived trial, a District Court judge convicted the defendant of distribution of a class B substance (methylenedioxy methamphetamine, commonly known as “ecstasy”) and distribution of a counterfeit substance, both in connection with a March 22, 2001, sale to an undercover detective. The judge found the defendant not guilty on an additional distribution of ecstasy charge related to a March 10, 2001, transaction.
On appeal, the defendant claims that he was entitled to a required finding of not guilty on the two charges that resulted in the convictions.
