United States Fifth Circuit

In an action against Harris County, Texas under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, claiming sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation, judgment for plaintiff is affirmed, but a motion for return of a filing fee is granted, where: 1) the evidence of sexual harassment was more than sufficient to sustain the verdict, and given the particular procedural posture of the case, there was no reversible error in the manner and substance of the submission to the jury; and 2) no fee can be required for any amended notice of appeal, irrespective of whether it pertains to a post-judgment motion.
