United States Eighth Circuit

In an appeal arising from a jury verdict finding an employer discriminated against plaintiff based on his disability and age when it refused to hire him, judgment and awards for plaintiff are affirmed over claims that: 1) defendant was entitled to judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, a new trial because the evidence was insufficient to support either the disability discrimination verdict or the age discrimination verdict as well as the awards for punitive, emotional distress and liquidated damages; and 2) the district court abused its discretion in awarding plaintiff front pay.
