Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Velva Tucker-Cole brings this pro se appeal following an adverse jury verdict
in her race and retaliation-based employment discrimination action. Tucker-Cole
contends the district court committed error in excluding certain evidence and in refusing
to submit the issue of punitive damages to the jury. Having considered the record in
the context of Tucker-Cole's contentions, we conclude her claims of trial error are
without merit and an extended discussion is unnecessary. We thus affirm the district
court. See 8th Cir R. 47B.
