No. 96-30578 Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

ZAIRE HUMPHREY,

Defendant-Appellant.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 95-CR-315-E - - - - - - - - - - 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* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. No. 96-30578 - 2 -

States v. Sandoval, 20 F.3d 134, 137 (5th Cir. 1994). Nor has

Humphrey shown that his Sixth Amendment right to confront the

Government’s witnesses was violated. See United States v. Pace,

10 F.3d 1106, 1113 (5th Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 114 S. Ct. 2180

(1994).

AFFIRMED.
