Notice: Eighth Circuit Rule 28a(k) Governs Citation of Unpublished Opinions and Provides That They Are Not Precedent and Generally Should Not Be Cited Unless Relevant to Establishing the Doctrines of Res Judicata, Collateral Estoppel, the Law of the Case, or if the Opinion Has Persuasive Value on a Material Issue and No Published Opinion Would Serve As Well.will Elliot Clark Appellant, v. Bill Armontrout; Donald Cline; Phillip Vance, Appellees, 99 F.3d 1143 (8th Cir. 1996)

In this action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, petitioner alleged various violations of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution relating to supposedly unsanitary conditions in the Jefferson City Correctional Center. Petitioner prevailed at his first trial, and the jury awarded him nominal damages of $1.00. We remanded for a new trial in light of Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825 (1994). See Clark v. Armontrout, 28 F.3d 71 (8th Cir. 1994) (per curiam). At the petitioner's second trial, the jury found for the defendants. The district court¹  denied petitioner's motion for a new trial. In the present appeal, petitioner argues that the trial court committed reversible error regarding several evidentiary points and claims that defense counsel's conduct warrants a new trial.

We have read the record carefully and discern no legal error. We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court.
