    Before BOWMAN, BRIGHT, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
    ___________
    PER CURIAM.
    Stacy Lynn Olguin appeals her conviction and sentence of thirty-three
    months     incarceration        on   a    charge       of   conspiracy    to   distribute
    methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846.                 A jury found her guilty
    1
    and the district court rejected her trial motion for an acquittal.                 In her
    appeal, Olguin maintains the Government failed to produce sufficient
    evidence to sustain her conviction.                 We affirm.
    The Government's case relied on the testimony of Lucky Hall.                    Hall
    testified that he purchased small quantities of methamphetamine from Olguin
    during a three-month period.             In addition, Olguin introduced Hall to her
    husband,    Jose    Pilar       Vega,     to    facilitate       larger   methamphetamine
    transactions.      Hall testified
    1
    The Honorable Harold D. Vietor, United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Iowa.
    -1-
    that Olguin was present for many of these exchanges.         Hall further
    testified that on two occasions Olguin received payments on Pilar's behalf.
    Finally, Olguin made incriminating statements upon her arrest concerning
    involvement in methamphetamine transactions.
    Although the defendant attacks the credibility of Lucky Hall, that
    issue rested with the jury.    Our review of the record indicates ample
    evidence to sustain the conviction and an extensive opinion is unnecessary.
    Accordingly, we affirm.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

    CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
