United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  Nov. 16, 1995.Filed:  Nov. 30, 1995.

Before FAGG, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
Steven Nicolas appeals the drug-related sentence imposed by the district court under the sentencing guidelines.  Nicolas's arguments are clearly foreclosed by this court's recent decisions in United States v. Jackson, Nos. 94-3381 & 94-3639, 1995 WL 600885, at * 7 (8th Cir.  Oct. 13, 1995), and United States v. Jackson, 64 F.3d 1213, 1219-20 (8th Cir.1995).  Because the controlling law is clear, an extended discussion of Nicolas's arguments would serve no useful purpose.  We thus affirm Nicolas's sentence.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
