UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

ORLANDO VILLANUEVA,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CR-01-622-AW)

Submitted: October 8, 2003 Decided: October 30, 2003

Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Harry D. McKnett, Columbia, Maryland, for Appellant. Thomas M. DiBiagio, United States Attorney, Odessa P. Jackson, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Orlando Villanueva appeals from his conviction and sentence

imposed for health care fraud and conspiracy to commit health care

fraud. He contends that the district court erred in admitting into

evidence the government’s charts as summary exhibits. We have

reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs and find no abuse of

discretion by the district court in admitting the challenged

charts. See United States v. Strissel, 920 F.2d 1162, 1163-64

(4th Cir. 1990) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm

Villanueva’s conviction. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
