Order

Pamela  McKinney  contends  that  the  Federal  Emergency  Management  Agency  ter-­‐‑ minated  her  employment  in  retaliation  for  a  complaint  about  discrimination.  After  a  tri-­‐‑ al,  the  jury  returned  a  verdict  for  the  defendant.  McKinney  asks  for  another  trial  on  the   grounds  that  one  juror  was  biased,  that  one  witness  contradicted  evidence  given  under   oath  before  the  trial,  and  that  her  two  retained  attorneys  were  incompetent.  McKinney   presented  all  three  contentions  to  the  district  judge,  who  rejected  them  in  a  careful  opin-­‐‑ ion.  2016  U.S.  Dist.  L EXIS  35696  (N.D.  Ill.  Mar.  21,  2016).  After  considering  McKinney’s *2 No.  16-­‐‑1624   Page  2   briefs  and  oral  argument,  we  do  not  find  any  legal  error  or  abuse  of  discretion  in  that   decision.  For  substantially  the  reasons  given  by  the  district  judge,  the  decision  is

AFFIRMED .
