Theresa Wilhite, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Eastern District of Arkansas. Arkansas Department of * [UNPUBLISHED] Human Services, * * Appellee. * ___________

Submitted: December 12, 1996

Filed: February 5, 1997 ___________

Before WOLLMAN and MURPHY, Circuit Judges, and TUNHEIM,1 District Judge. ___________

PER CURIAM.

Theresa Wilhite appeals from the judgment entered by the district 2 court on the adverse jury verdict returned in her Title VII retaliatory discharge action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e. Wilhite contends that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. Because she failed to move for judgment as a matter of law or for a new trial (we note that Wilhite's present counsel did not represent her at trial), we are limited to reviewing the record only for plain error to insure that no manifest miscarriage of justice has occurred. McKeel v. City of Pine Bluff, 73 F.3d 207, 212 (8th Cir. 1996); Catlett v. Local 7370 of United Paper Workers,

1 The HONORABLE JOHN R. TUNHEIM, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, sitting by designation. 2 The Honorable William R. Wilson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. 69 F.3d 254, 258 (8th Cir. 1995); Karjala v. Johns-Manville Products Corp., 523 F.2d 155, 157 (8th Cir. 1975).

Finding no such error, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.

CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
