PER CURIAM.

Bryant Young appeals from the district court’s1 exclusion of his expert witness and exclusion of evidence of prior incidents, which preceded the entry of judgment as a matter of law in favor of Cincinnati, Inc. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in these evidentiary rulings. See Peitzmeier v. Hennessy Indus., Inc., 97 F.3d 293, 296 (8th Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 520 U.S. 1196 (1997). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.
