IRVING, J., for the Court.
¶ 1. Scotty B. Lyles was convicted in the Oktibbeha County Circuit Court of armed robbery and sentenced as a habitual offender to life imprisonment, without eligibility for parole, in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections and fined $10,000. Lyles moved for a new trial, but the circuit court denied the motion. Aggrieved, Lyles appeals and asserts that the circuit court erred in denying his motion for a new trial because the verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence.
¶ 2. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
