United States First Circuit

In an appeal from a remitted jury award to plaintiff based on the failure of defendant-employer to accommodate his disability as required by federal and state law, the judgment below is affirmed over: 1) defendant's claim that the evidence was insufficient to support either liability or the remaining damages award; 2) its claim that the statute of limitations had run on the claims; and 3) plaintiff's claim that the district court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on punitive damages and in denying attorney's fees pending final judgment.
