OPINION BY
JUDGE ROBERT J. HUMPHREYS
Calvin Donnell Jennings (“Jennings”) appeals the June 10, 2016 decision by the Circuit Court of the City of Suffolk (the “circuit court”) convicting him of robbery, in violation of Code § 18.2-58. Jennings’ single assignment of error is that the circuit court erred in finding the evidence sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was guilty of robbery because the only evidence against him was “items of clothing and a weapon used at the time of the robbery,” which contained both his own DNA and that of other unknown person(s).
