   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2642
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - conviction. Following conviction for conspiring to commit 
   bank robbery, and weapons possession, the district court did not err in 
   denying motion for judgment of acquittal or abuse its discretion in 
   denying motion to a new trial based on sufficiency of evidence of 
   conspiracy when coconspirator was acquitted, as there was sufficient 
   evidence to support conspiracy conviction. District court did not abused 
   its discretion in admitting evidence of Bassett's prior conviction for 
   bank robbery, as it was sufficiently similar to the planned robbery to be 
   admissible under Rule 404(b), was probative of his intent, and was not 
   unduly prejudicial. In addition, a limiting instruction was issued.
