1Opinion of the Court

BRIDGES, C.J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Larry Lee was convicted in the Circuit Court of Hinds County of possession of cocaine and was sentenced to a term of three years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Aggrieved, Lee argues on appeal that the trial court erred in denying his motion for directed verdict based upon the undisputed evidence that a confidential informant supplied the drugs that were later purchased by law enforcement, and that he was entrapped as a matter of law. Finding no *1098merit to the issue raised, we affirm the judgment and sentence of the trial court.
