Mitchell v. Genlyte Thomas Group LLC

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Mitchell v. Genlyte Thomas Group LLC, 111 F. App'x 764 (5th Cir. 2004)

Mitchell v. Genlyte Thomas Group LLC

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The district court correctly held that the sexual harassment claim of Plaintiff-Appellee Patricia Mitchell was not time-barred as Mitchell introduced sufficient evidence of related discriminatory acts within the statutory period. Further, sufficient evidence supports the jury verdict on Mitchell’s sexual harassment and retaliation claims and the amount of emotional distress damages found by the jury, and the district court did not err in denying Defendant-Appellant Genlyte Thomas Group, LLC’s motion for judgment as a matter of law as to these verdicts. Finally, the district court correctly reconciled the jury’s verdicts on Mitchell’s failure to promote claim.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Costs shall be borne by Genlyte.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
