PER CURIAM.

The appellant seeks review of his conviction on a charge of possession ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‍and sale of narcotics. The sole question raised on review is the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain appellant’s conviction.

We have reviewed the transcript ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‍of the testimony given before the trial judge who served as the finder of fact in this nonjury trial, and we are satisfied that the ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‍evidence adduced by the State sustains the judgment of conviction. Moreover, the record fails to reflect that the defendant made a motion for a new ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‍trial. Accordingly, he cannot now assert the sufficiency of the evidence as ground for reversal. Kimble v. State, 208 So.2d 471 (Fla.App.1st 1968); Smith v. State, 194 ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‍So.2d 310 (Fla.App.1st 1967).

Affirmed.
