PER CURIAM.
Ken Youngman appeals his convictions for assault resulting in serious bodily
injury and assault with a dangerous weapon. Youngman raises several contentions
related to the admissibility of certain evidence offered by the government and to the
denial of his motion for a mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct. Because
Youngman's appeal involves the straightforward application of settled principles of law,

we conclude that a discussion of the issues by the panel will serve no useful purpose.
We have carefully considered Youngman's arguments and find them to be without
merit. We thus affirm Youngman's convictions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
