Before FAGG, JOHN R. GIBSON, and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


     Kermit     Fred    Murschel   appeals     his   bankruptcy    fraud    convictions.
Murschel raises several contentions related to the government's failure to
prove he was the person who made the false statements and filed the false
schedules,     the   sufficiency    of   the    evidence   to     support    the   jury's
convictions, and the admissibility of evidence offered by Murschel.                    A
review of the record shows that Murschel's contentions are without merit.
Because the appeal involves the straightforward application of settled
principles of law, a discussion of the issues will serve no useful purpose.
Thus, we affirm Murschel's convictions without an extended opinion.                  See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
