Before McMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Narin Prasert Vong appeals the district court’s1 denial of his motion for a new
trial under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33. The district court’s decision rests
on credibility determinations, which we have not been persuaded to disturb; hence,
we find no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Grey Bear, 116 F.3d 349, 350-51
(8th Cir. 1997). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we
deny as moot Vong’s motion for release pending appeal.

      1
      The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
