United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
No. 96-4278EM
United States of America, Appellee, v. Pablo M. Collins, Appellant.
Submitted: January 21, 1998 Filed: February 3, 1998
Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Pablo M. Collins appeals his convictions for possessing with intent to distribute cocaine base and carrying a firearm in relation to that drug-trafficking crime. Collins contends the district court committed error in admitting evidence of an earlier drug crime against a co-defendant and improperly instructed the jury on carrying a firearm in relation to a drug crime. Collins also contends the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions. A review of the record shows that Collins's claims are without merit. Because the appeal involves the straightforward application of settled principles of law, a discussion of the issues will serve no useful purpose. We thus affirm Collins's convictions without an extended opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
