1Opinion of the Court

LUMBARD, Circuit Judge:

Lee D. Zinman appeals from a June 10, 1992 judgment entered on a jury verdict in the Southern District of New York, Conner, finding Black & Decker (U.S.), Inc. liable for injuries suffered by Zinman and awarding Zinman $11,355.82 in damages.

Zinman argues that: (1) the district court erred in admitting evidence of his 1976 conviction for making a false statement to a government agency; (2) the judge’s conduct was so favorable to Black & Decker that it deprived him of a fair trial; and (3) the jury’s verdict was internally inconsistent and grossly inadequate. We affirm.
