_____________ No. 95-3223SD _____________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the District * of South Dakota.

Kermit Fred Murschel, also * known as Kermit F. Maurchel, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * _____________ Submitted: March 14, 1996 Filed: April 10, 1996 _____________ 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.
