1Opinion of the Court
PAUL KELLY, JR., Circuit Judge.
Defendant-Appellant Robert Vigil was convicted by a jury of attempted extortion in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951. In post-trial proceedings, the district court denied his motions for judgment of acquittal. United States v. Vigil, 506 F.Supp.2d 544 (D.N.M.2007); United States v. Vigil, 478 F.Supp.2d 1285 (D.N.M.2007). He was sentenced to 37 months’ imprisonment followed by three years’ supervised release. On appeal, Mr. Vigil challenges of the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his conviction. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
