United States Ninth Circuit

In a wrongful termination action, judgment for compensatory damages is affirmed where plaintiff's claims fell within the ambit of section 6310 and wrongful termination actions under section 6310 are not limited to statutorily-identified remedies. Grant of defendant's post-trial motion for JMOL with regard to punitive damages is reversed where defendant failed to move for such relief at the close of the evidence.
