CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. James Wilder II was walking along a road on a rainy night. When a police car approached, an officer noticed a gun at Wilder’s hip. Wilder ran, clutching his waist. The officer observed Wilder drop the gun and pick it up before running into a house. A search of the home yielded a gun matching the one the officer had observed, leading to Wilder’s arrest. While in jail, Wilder called a friend and directed her to pay the residents of the home to say (falsely) that they owned the gun. A jury ultimately found Wilder guilty of both possession of a firearm as a felon and attempted witness tampering.

Wilder challenges the admission of trial testimony regarding the officer’s training and experience. He also contests the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his attempt conviction. Finding no prejudicial error in the district court proceedings, we affirm.

KAREN NELSON MOORE, Circuit Judge. Jennings Maynard worked in the coalmining industry for over forty-three years and developed severe respiratory issues. Maynard filed a claim for benefits under the Black Lung Benefits Act, but he died while his claim was still pending. Maynard’s widow, Elizabeth Maynard, filed a claim for survivor’s benefits, and the Administrative Law Judge awarded benefits to Elizabeth Maynard, on both Maynard’s behalf and as his surviving spouse. The Benefits Review Board affirmed. Island Creek Coal Company now petitions this court to review the award. For the following reasons, we DENY the petition for review

PER CURIAM. Marlean Ames sued the Ohio Department of Youth Services under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, asserting claims of discrimination based on sexual orientation and sex. The district court granted summary judgment to the Department, holding that Ames lacked evidence of “background circumstances” necessary to establishing her prima-facie case for her claim based on sexual orientation, and that Ames lacked evidence of pretext for purposes of her sex-discrimination claim. We affirm.
