See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Arnold Lorenzo Paige appeals his jury convictions and re-
sulting sentences for crimes committed in relation to Paige’s rob-
bery of a United States Post Office. We affirm the convictions and
sentences.
Paige argues the court erred in admitting fingerprint evidence
and in admitting testimony presented by the Government’s expert
witness in latent fingerprint examination. We have reviewed the
record and find the court did not abuse its discretion in admitting
the evidence. See United States v. Patterson, 150 F.3d 382, 387
(4th Cir. 1998), cert. denied, 525 U.S. 1086 (1999).
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
