PER CURIAM. 

 Derrick Kim Patterson appeals his conviction for possession with intent to

distribute cocaine base. He argues that the district court1

 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 8th Cir. R. 47B.
