1Opinion of the Court
BRUNETTI, Circuit Judge:
Thomas Hard appeals the denial of his motion for a new trial. Hard claims that the district court' abused its discretion in denying his motion after it was discovered that a juror failed to disclose his former employment during voir dire questioning. Hard asserts that disclosure of the juror’s former employment would have provided a valid basis for a challenge for cause, and that the juror brought extraneous and prejudicial information before the jury,- thus denying him a fair trial.
We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S. C. § 1291 and affirm.
