Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 97 F.3d 1457 (8th Cir. 1996) Submitted July 5, 1996. Filed Sept. 11, 1996

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

PER CURIAM.


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.

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

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