      Jimmy Clements appeals from the denial of his motion for a new trial

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(a) and alternatively for judgment as

a matter of law pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(a) following a jury

verdict and final judgment for defendant, CSX Transportation, Inc. on Clements’

negligence action brought under the Federal Employer’s Liability Act, 45 U.S.C. §

51, et seq. The jury verdict in this case forecloses each claim raised on appeal by

Mr. Clements. Accordingly, the district court judgment is

      AFFIRMED.
