The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western

District of Missouri. 

-2-

In this diversity action, Corinne Barker appeals the district court’s1

 judgment

entered upon a jury verdict in favor of defendant. On appeal, Barker mainly

complains that the adverse outcome was related to her poor legal representation, but

this type of argument does not support reversal in this civil action. See Watson v.

Moss, 619 F.2d 775, 776 (8th Cir. 1980) (per curiam) (there is no constitutional or

statutory right to effective assistance of counsel in civil case). Therefore, having

reviewed the record and Barker’s arguments on appeal, we affirm the judgment of the

district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
