PER CURIAM.
Gerald Leach appeals his drug conspiracy conviction and the denial of his motion
for a new trial. Leach contends that the jury's verdict is not supported by sufficient
evidence, and that the district court1 abused its discretion by not granting a motion for
a new trial based on a claim that the prosecutor knowingly used perjured testimony.

found Leach guilty. The district court thoroughly and accurately addressed the claim
of prosecutorial misconduct in its order denying the motion for a new trial, and we find
no abuse of discretion. A further discussion of Leach's arguments would serve no
useful precedential purpose. We thus affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
