United States Fifth Circuit

In a claim for denial of a promotion and housing based on sex, race, and complaints to the EEOC, jury instructions did not impermissibly lead the jury to award damages for failure to promote and retaliation as independent events; an award of $100,000 for future emotional distress was excessive, and the court erred in calculating pre-judgment interest.
