November 25, 1996
Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Zaire Humphrey appeals from his conviction for distribution
of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Our review of
the record and the arguments and authorities convince us that no
reversible error was committed. Humphrey’s entrapment claim is
without merit because a reasonable jury could find, beyond a
reasonable doubt, that he was disposed to commit the criminal act
prior to first being approached by Government agents. See United
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
