PER CURIAM.

Wal-Mart appeals from a jury verdict in favor of Rose Thorpe on her negligence action and challenges a number of evidentiary rulings made by the District Court.1 Having reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that no reversible error appears. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the District Court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Thorpe’s motion to correct her brief is granted.

1 The Honorable Lawrence O. Davis, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, who presided over the case with the consent of the parties in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994). A true copy.
