United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 99-1957 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the Eastern * District of Missouri.

Ricky L. Jackson, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: November 10, 1999 Filed: November 18, 1999 ___________ Before McMILLIAN, BEAM, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

On direct appeal of his conviction after a jury trial for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, Ricky Jackson challenges evidentiary rulings made at trial, as well as the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction. We have carefully reviewed Jackson's arguments and find them to be without merit. We therefore affirm the district court1 without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable Richard Webber, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
