PER CURIAM.
This case is before us for the second time. In United States v. Bass, 478 F.3d
948 (8th Cir. 2007), we reversed the district court's order granting Mr. Bass a new trial
on a charge of conspiracy to distribute drugs and remanded the case for sentencing.
In the present appeal, Mr. Bass asserts that the evidence adduced at trial was
insufficient to convict him. But, as we observed in the previous appeal, a police
officer testified that Mr. Bass confessed to him and there was overwhelming testimony

-- 1 of 2 --

-2-
tending to show Mr. Bass's involvement in the conspiracy. See id. at 952. The
credibility of that testimony was a matter for the jury. Our previous holding is binding
on us as the law of the case, and moreover we detect no error in it.
Affirmed.
