Climent-Garcia v. Autoridad de Transporte, No. 12-2442 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit against Defendant, her employer, pursuant to Title VII and analogous Puerto Rico law, alleging adverse employment action and a failure to hire on account of sex. After deliberations, the jury returned a verdict for Plaintiff on both counts. On appeal, Defendant (1) sought a reversal of the jury verdict, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s findings; and (2) in the alternative, requested remittitur on the issue of damages. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) Defendant’s sufficiency-of-the-evidence claim was unpreserved for appellate review; and (2) the district court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion for remittitur.
