   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-3445
                          and No:  00-4030

   Southern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - civil rights. Plaintiff's evidence was sufficient 
   to establish hostile work environment and sexual harassment;
   evidence showing management did nothing to man accused 
   of harassment despite the fact that the responsible manager 
   thought plaintiff's allegations were credible was sufficient 
   to support an award of punitive damages; defendant's 
   judgment on constructive discharge claim affirmed; under 
   Iowa law, battery claim was not within the exclusive jurisdiction
   of workers' compensation system; district court erred in
   resubmitting battery claim to the jury based on a mistaken belief 
   that an award of compensatory damages was prerequisite for an
   award of punitive damages for battery; battery award remanded
   for entry of a judgment giving effect to the original verdict on the 
   claim.
