Tammy Christine Hanson appeals following the district court’s 1 adverse entry
of judgment on a jury verdict in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit, which arose from her
incarceration in the Baxter County Detention Center. As to the matters she has
properly raised, see Hess v. Ables, 714 F.3d 1048, 1051 n.2 (8th Cir. 2013) (by not
briefing this court on why dismissal of claim was improper, appellant abandoned
claim), we find no valid basis, and she has offered none, for overturning the order
narrowing the issues to be presented at the jury trial, see Johnson v. Bi-State Justice
Ctr., 12 F.3d 133, 135-36 (8th Cir. 1993) (evidentiary-hearing standard); or for
overturning the jury verdicts on certain claims, see S. Pine Helicopters, Inc. v.
Phoenix Aviation Managers, Inc., 320 F.3d 838, 840 (8th Cir. 2003) (review of
sufficiency of evidence to support jury verdict ordinarily is quite limited, and it is
even more limited where appellant did not preserve issue below by moving for
directed verdict before or after jury returned its verdict). The judgment is affirmed.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
