Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Roland Mark Evans appeals his sentence for computer and credit card fraud.
After a careful review of the record, we reject Evans's arguments. First, contrary to
Evans's view, the government's evidence and Evans's stipulation about the amount of
loss support the district court's loss calculation. Second, the record amply supports the
district court's refusal to reduce Evans's base offense level for acceptance of
responsibility. Finally, we agree with Evans that the sentencing transcript permits us
to consider Evans's ineffective assistance of counsel arguments, and having done so,
we conclude Evans has failed to show that he was prejudiced by his counsel's
performance. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
