LAY, Circuit Judge.
Jason Albert Becht appeals his conviction for knowingly possessing, and disseminating through interstate commerce, child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(l) & (a)(5)(B). Becht argues: (1) the district court’s 1 admission of thirty-nine images of child pornography unfairly prejudiced his defense in violation of Federal Rule of Evidence 403, and (2) the Government offered insufficient evidence for the jury to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
