1Opinion of the Court

MESKILL, Circuit Judge:

Vladimir Berkovich appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Tsouealas, J., entered after a jury trial, rejecting Berkovich’s section 1983 and pendent state law claims in their entirety. The questions presented on appeal are whether the district court committed reversible error in denying a discovery request, in excluding certain evidence at trial, in failing to give Berkovich a fair trial, and in denying his motion to set aside the jury verdict.

We affirm.
