Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, FAGG and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                             ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Tommie Thompson appeals his drug-related convictions. On appeal, Thompson
contends the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions. We disagree. Contrary
to Thompson's view, the record contains substantial evidence on which the jury
reasonably could have found Thompson guilty of the charges. We believe a discussion
of Thompson's fact-specific arguments would serve no useful purpose. We thus affirm
Thompson's convictions without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
