1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Circuit Judge:
The plaintiff sought relief in the form of back pay and reinstatement under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. alleging employment discrimination based on sex. Her contention was that the defendant, Jefferson Chemical Company, refused to transfer or promote her and terminated her employment because she was female. The judge to whom the case was tried found no discrimination and denied the relief sought. Although the court may have erred in certain evidentiary rulings, its ultimate findings were not affected and we affirm.
