Before BOWMAN and FAGG, Circuit Judges, and CARMAN,1 Judge.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      A jury returned a verdict in favor of Cargill, Incorporated, on Keith Kulow's
claim of age discrimination. The District Court2 entered judgment on the jury verdict
and denied Kulow's motion for a new trial. Kulow timely appeals.



      1
       The Honorable Gregory W. Carman, Chief Judge, United States Court of
International Trade, sitting by designation.
      2
      The Honorable Edward J. McManus, United States District Judge for the
Northern District of Iowa.
        Seeking reversal and remand for a new trial, Kulow argues that the District Court
abused its discretion in submitting a verdict form combining what Kulow characterizes
as two age discrimination claims into one. Kulow also argues that the trial court abused
its discretion in admitting into evidence the testimony of Barb Kula. We disagree with
both contentions. Having considered the matter, we conclude the trial court did not
abuse its discretion in either respect. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
