PER CURIAM.

James Kral challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction for aiding and abetting possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (1994).

We have reviewed carefully the record and the parties' submissions and have concluded that the evidence was clearly sufficient to support Kral's conviction. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the District Court.2 See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
