PER CURIAM.

A jury found defendant guilty of illegal distribution of stimulant or depressant drugs in violation of Minn.St.1969, ยง 152.09. An examination of the evidence discloses that there is ample evidence to sustain the jury's verdict and that no prejudicial error was committed by the trial court. Although defendant contradicted some of the evidence, the weight and credibility of disputed evidence are for the jury. State v. Darrow, 287 Minn. 230, 177 N.W.2d 778 (1970).
