PER CURIAM.
Derrick Kim Patterson appeals his conviction for possession with intent to
distribute cocaine base. He argues that the district court 1 abused its discretion in
restricting cross-examination of the informant who testified against him. Having
carefully reviewed the record and applicable law in this case, this court concludes
that, even if there were error, it was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence
supporting the conviction. AFFIRMED. See 8 th Cir. R. 47B.
