Summary Calendar
RUTH ANDERSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
VERSUS
DAN GLICKMAN, Secretary, United States
Department of Agriculture,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Southern District of Mississippi
(3:97-CV-779)
July 20, 2000
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ruth Anderson sued Dan Glickman as Secretary of the Department
of Agriculture alleging claims of discrimination on the basis of
her race and sex and retaliation by her employer, the United States
Forestry Service. The case was tried to a jury who returned

-- 1 of 2 --

verdicts in favor of her employer on all issues. Anderson moved
for a new trial on the grounds that the district court erred in
sustaining the employer’s objection, on the grounds of hearsay and
relevance, to the admission of a document which was part of a
report of the EEOC investigation. The district court overruled
Anderson’s motion for new trial and Anderson appeals.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the reply brief, the
record excerpts, and relevant portions of the record itself. For
the reasons stated by the district judge in his Opinion and Order
filed under date of April 5, 1999, we find that the district court
did not abuse its discretion in overruling the motion for new
trial, and we AFFIRM the Final Judgment entered herein on January
26, 1999.
AFFIRMED.
