   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2680
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - employment discrimination. District court did not abuse its 
   discretion in denying employer's motion for judgment as a matter of law, 
   as plaintiff's evidence was sufficient to prove an objectively hostile work 
   environment, constructive discharge, notice of the harassment, failure 
   to remedy and retaliation affecting a material term or condition of 
   plaintiff's employment; plaintiff's evidence chronicled years of blatant 
   sexual harassment which was severe and pervasive enough to create an 
   objectively hostile work environment; district court did not abuse 
   its discretion in permitting plaintiff to amend her compliant after the 
   verdict to include a claim under the Iowa Civil Rights Act, as the 
   amendment was permissible under either Rule 15(b) or Rule 54(c); 
   award of $839,470 in compensatory damages, $33,314 in back pay and 
   $650,000 in punitive damages affirmed.
