Defendant - Appellee. 

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before McKAY, SEYMOUR, and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

The parties have agreed that this case may be submitted for 

decision on the briefs. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f); 10th Cir. R. 

34.1.2. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral 

argument. 

Plaintiff raises two issues on appeal from a jury verdict 

against her: (1) error in admitting prejudicial evidence; and (2) 

the verdict was not supported by the evidence. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

Plaintiff alleges that the district court erred by admitting 

into evidence a letter from her doctor contending that plaintiff 

had forged the doctor's signature on disability insurance forms. 

She argues that the letter was improperly admitted as part of 

plaintiff's medical records. Contrary to plaintiff's version of 

the events at trial, however, the letter was not submitted to the 

jury and therefore could not have prejudiced their verdict. 

We have reviewed the record and conclude that the evidence 

amply supports the jury's verdict. 

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. The mandate 

shall issue forthwith.
