United States First Circuit

In an age discrimination action against an employer, the district court's judgment in favor of the plaintiff is affirmed, where: 1) there was no error in the district court's decision to issue a mixed-motive jury instruction; 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to certify the mixed-motive question to the state court; and 3) even if the district court erred by omitting a statute of limitations jury instruction, that error was not prejudicial.
