Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Alonzo Wright was convicted of robbing an Omaha, Nebraska credit union.
Wright appeals the district court’s* denial of his motion for acquittal, contending the
evidence was insufficient to identify him as the robber. We review the sufficiency
of evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict. United States v. L.B.G., 131
F.3d 1276, 1277 (8th Cir. 1997). The bank teller from whom the robber demanded
money testified in court that Wright was the robber. The teller’s uncorroborated

for the District of Nebraska.
testimony alone is a sufficient basis for conviction. Id. at 1278. Further, the
conviction is supported by numerous pieces of circumstantial evidence. We thus
affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
