United States Eighth Circuit

In an action brought by the EEOC against defendant-telephone company for the termination of two employees in violation of Title VII in which the jury returned a verdict for the EEOC, an appeal of a denial of defendant's motion for summary judgment and its Rule 50(a) motion for judgment as a matter of law is dismissed where: 1) defendant did not renew its motion for judgment as a matter of law after the entry of judgment pursuant to Rule 50(b); and 2) this left the circuit court without a basis to review defendant's sufficiency of the evidence challenges.
