No. 10-20090 se and in forma pauperis on appeal, Thomas contends only that the jury verdict was against the great weight of the evidence and that it should be reversed and his case remanded for a new trial. Our review of the record on appeal, including the briefs of the parties and the applicable law, convinces us that there is no basis for our reversing the verdict of the jury or the judgment of the district court entered pursuant thereto. Accordingly, that judgment is, in all respects, AFFIRMED.
