Before FAGG, HEANEY, and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Kenneth Waller appeals his drug-related convictions. Waller contends the
district court improperly instructed the jury on constructive possession. Waller also
contends the evidence is insufficient to support the jury's verdict. We conclude that
an extended discussion of the issues presented by this appeal will serve no useful
purpose. We have carefully considered Waller's contentions and find them to be
without merit. We thus affirm Waller's convictions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
