Before WOLLMAN, BRIGHT, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       A jury convicted Jobita Willetta Avery of conspiracy to distribute and possess
with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base and less than 500 grams of
cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1), and 841(b)(1)(A)(iii). The
district court1 sentenced Avery to 135 months’ (11 years, 3 months) imprisonment.
Avery appeals, challenging the evidence to support her conviction. We affirm.




      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
       We review Avery’s insufficiency-of-the-evidence challenge de novo, viewing
the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict. United States v.
Johnson, 

, 821 (8th Cir. 2008). We accept all reasonable inferences that
support the verdict and will reverse only if no reasonable jury could have found Avery
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 

Avery of conspiracy to distribute drugs, the government needed to
prove: (1) there was a conspiracy with an illegal purpose; (2) the defendant knew of
the conspiracy; and (3) the defendant intentionally became a part of the conspiracy.
United States v. Bowie, 

, 812 (8th Cir. 2010). Direct evidence of a
conspiracy is not required. United States v. Parker, 

, 880 (8th Cir. 2009).



      Several witnesses testified that Avery and her co-defendant Jaktine Moore sold
them cocaine and crack cocaine and that Avery would go to Moore when she needed
more drugs to sell. Avery attacks the credibility of these witnesses, arguing that the
testimony was inconsistent and that the witnesses testified as a result of plea
agreements with the government.

       But credibility determinations are virtually unassailable on appeal. See United
States v. Coleman, 

, 666 (8th Cir. 2008) (“We have repeatedly upheld
jury verdicts based solely on the testimony of co-conspirators and cooperating
witnesses, noting that it is within the province of the jury to make credibility
assessments and resolve conflicting testimony.”). While there may be discrepancies
in the witnesses’ testimony, these issues were presented to, and rejected by, the jury.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, sufficient evidence
established that Avery conspired to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine.

      Accordingly, we affirm Avery’s conviction.
