On State's Petition for Discretionary Review from the Seventh Court of Appeals, Wheeler County.


OPINION


Anibal Heriberto Valle was found guilty by a jury of the third-degree felony offense of possession of marijuana in an amount of five pounds or more but less than fifty pounds. The jury sentenced Valle to ten years' imprisonment. Valle appealed, claiming that the evidence was legally and factually insufficient to support his conviction. The Amarillo Court of Appeals held that, although the evidence was legally sufficient to sustain Valle's conviction, the evidence was nevertheless factually insufficient to support his conviction. As a result, the court reversed the judgment of the trial court and remanded the case for additional proceedings. The State petitioned for review, which we granted to consider the following issues: (1) Did the court of appeals fail to properly apply the standard of review for determining the factual sufficiency of the evidence as most recently stated by this Court in Watson v. State? (2) Did the court of appeals err by holding that the evidence was factually insufficient to support the jury's verdict of guilt for possession of marijuana? Having examined the record and briefs and considered the arguments in the case, we conclude that our decision to grant review was improvident. We therefore dismiss the State's petition as improvidently granted.
