       Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of

New York (Nathan, J.).

       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

       Plaintiff-appellant Racquel McPherson, proceeding pro se, appeals from the district

court’s order dismissing her complaint and granting judgment on the pleadings in favor of

defendant-appellees. She has also filed a motion for “Reversal of the Verdict by the District

Court.” We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of

the case, and the issues on appeal.

       McPherson has not raised any substantive challenge to the district court’s legal analysis.

She has therefore forfeited any such challenge. See LoSacco v. City of Middletown, 

,

92-93 (2d Cir. 1995). In any event, her claims must fail for the reasons articulated in the district

court’s well-reasoned opinion.

                                                  2
        We have considered all of McPherson’s remaining arguments and find them to be

without merit. Accordingly, we DENY McPherson’s motion and AFFIRM the judgment of the

district court.

                                                  FOR THE COURT:
                                                  Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
