PER CURIAM
Juan Antonio Pena-Torres appeals his conviction for
distribution of cocaine. He moved for a new trial, alleging
that the Government engaged in prosecutorial misconduct and that
evidence relating to counts dismissed mid-trial prejudiced his
right to a fair trial on the remaining count. We have reviewed
the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal and find no
reversible error in the denial of Pena-Torres’ motion for a new
trial. Accordingly, we affirm the denial of relief for the
reasons stated by the district court, see United States v. Pena-
Torres, No. 1:14-cr-00310-JCC (E.D. Va. Dec. 18, 2014), and
affirm the conviction.∗
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
∗ Pena-Torres does not challenge the sentence imposed by the
district court
