BEFORE: NORRIS, BATCHELDER and ROGERS, Circuit Judges.

       PER CURIAM. Defendant, Robertson Cheatham Farmer’s Cooperative, appeals from a

jury verdict awarding back pay in an action brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity

Commission on behalf of a former employee of defendant, based on the Age Discrimination in

Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. Defendant contends that the district court erred

when it denied its motions for judgment as a matter of law, new trial, or remittitur.

       Having had the benefit of oral argument and having carefully considered the record on

appeal, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we are not persuaded that the district court

erred in denying defendant the relief it sought.

       Because the reasoning which supports the district court’s rulings has been articulated by the

district court, the issuance of a detailed written opinion by this court would be duplicative and serve

EEOC v. Robertson Cheatham

no useful purpose. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed upon the reasoning

employed by that court in its Memorandum Opinion dated September 5, 2003.
