No. 96-2649.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted July 5, 1996.Filed Sept. 11, 1996.

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

1
In  United States v. Swinton, 75 F.3d 374 (8th Cir.1996), we affirmed on all issues but remanded this case for an evidentiary hearing on a claim of possible jury misconduct.  The district court conducted a thorough and full hearing on that issue and found that no such misconduct occurred.  The district court in conformity with its findings denied Swinton a new trial.  Swinton appeals.

2
We have considered the matter and reviewed the record as well as the Anders brief filed by Swinton's appointed counsel.

3
We conclude that Swinton's appeal is without merit.  We affirm the order of the district court denying a new trial.
