1Opinion of the Court

BRISCOE, Circuit Judge.

Defendant Michael Aaron Wilson appeals his conviction for possession of three or more matters containing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct which were produced using materials shipped or transported in interstate commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4)(B) (1996). We conclude the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to satisfy the jurisdictional element of the charged crime, and reverse defendant’s conviction and remand with directions to enter a judgment of acquittal.
