AFFIRMED PURSUANT TO RULE 20


OPINION

The appellant, Gregory Lewis, was convicted of possessing in excess of twenty-six grams of cocaine with the intent to deliver, a Class B felony, by a jury of his peers. The trial court found that the appellant was a standard offender and imposed a Range I sentence consisting of a $12,000 fine and confinement for ten (10) years in the Department of Correction.

One issue is presented for review. The appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support a finding by a rational trier of fact that he was guilty of possessing twenty-six grams of cocaine with the intent to deliver beyond a reasonable doubt.

This Court has thoroughly reviewed the record, the briefs of the parties, the statutes, and the common law decisions that govern the issue presented for review. It is the opinion of the Court that the judgment should be affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals.
