Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
TERENCE TAYLOR,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 99-CR-205-ALL-K
--------------------
September 25, 2000
Before REAVLEY, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Terence Taylor appeals his conviction for possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon. He asserts that the district court
abused its discretion in denying his motion for a new trial
because the jury verdict was against the great weight of the
evidence and constituted a miscarriage of justice. After a
review of the record, we hold that the district court used the
correct standard of review for denying the motion and that the
district court’s denial was not a clear abuse of discretion. See
United States v. Robertson, 110 F.3d 1113, 1117 (5th Cir. 1997);
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
