United States Eleventh Circuit

In civil rights action alleging racial discrimination and retaliation in employment, verdict for plaintiff is affirmed as defendant was not entitled to a judgment as a matter of law against plaintiff's claim of retaliation since there was sufficient evidence of a causal relation between the filing of his pending charge and later termination. Defendant's other claims regarding evidence, punitive damages, and attorney fees and costs are rejected.
