OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Jason Gordon appeals his jury convictions and resulting 120 month
sentence for possession of counterfeit money; interstate use of a
falsely procured driver's license; interstate use of an unauthorized
access device with an intent to defraud; possession with intent to dis-
tribute more than five grams of crack cocaine; possession of mari-
juana; and use of a false social security number. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Therefore, we affirm.
Gordon contends there was insufficient evidence from which the
jury could determine he possessed counterfeit currency or from which
the jury could infer intent to distribute cocaine base as opposed to
only simple possession. We find there was substantial evidence, when
viewed in the light most favorable to the Government, to support the
jury's verdicts. See Glasser v. United States , 315 U.S. 60, 80 (1942).
We find no merit to Gordon's arguments that the court abused its dis-
cretion in admitting evidence under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b), see United
States v. Queen, 132 F.3d 991, 995 (4th Cir. 1997), or that the court
erred in finding Gordon lacked standing to challenge the search of the
vehicle he rented under a false name. United States v. Wellons, 32
F.3d 117, 119 (4th Cir. 1994). Thus, we affirm Gordon's jury convic-
tions and resulting sentence.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
