United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  April 16, 1992.April 23, 1992.

Before FAGG and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judges, and BOGUE,* Senior District Judge.
PER CURIAM.

1
Having been convicted on drug-related charges, Tyrone Jackson and Terrall Eugene Tillman now appeal claiming (1) the district court committed error in admitting evidence of past similar acts, (2) the prosecutor made an improper statement during closing argument, and (3) the government produced insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdicts.  Tillman also contends the district court committed error in refusing to grant a sentence reduction for acceptance of responsibility.  Discussion of the issues presented by this appeal will serve no useful purpose because the controlling law is clear.  On careful review of the record, briefs, and the parties' arguments, we find no error.  We thus affirm Jackson's and Tillman's convictions and Tillman's sentence.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
