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

PER CURIAM.

Having searched the record and considered the parties' briefs, we find no merit in Stroh's contentions. Stroh failed to show "new evidence" likely to produce a different result on retrial, prejudice attributable to counsel's claimed deficiencies, or the prosecutor's knowing use of perjured testimony. We also conclude the district court correctly denied relief on Stroh's sentencing claim. Finally, we do not reach arguments Stroh raises for the first time on appeal. We thus affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
