Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

        Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. appeals from the adverse decision of the district court and
the jury in this diversity action. After reviewing the record, we conclude there is
sufficient evidence to support the jury verdict and Wal-Mart's claims of trial error are
without merit. Having ruled against Wal-Mart on the merits, we need not address its
claim for prejudgment interest. We thus affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
