NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN

Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle
District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Frank W. Bullock, Jr.,
District Judge. (CA-01-485-1)
Submitted: April 24, 2003 Decided: May 19, 2003

Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Dora P. Pettiford, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Matthew Woodward,
Deputy Attorney General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Dora P. Pettiford appeals the jury verdict in favor of her
former employer, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Resources, in her civil action in which she alleged retaliatory
treatment based upon her complaints of racial discrimination. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. In reviewing
a jury verdict, we do not weigh evidence or review witness
credibility. See United States v. Saunders,
886 F.2d 56, 60 (4th
Cir. 1989). If, when taken in the light most favorable to the
plaintiff, there is substantial evidence to support the verdict, it
must be sustained. Vodrey v. Golden,
864 F.2d 28, 30 n.4 (4th Cir.
1988). Because we conclude substantial evidence supported the jury
verdict, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
