U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-1810
Southern District of Iowa
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Arnold and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Family Medical Leave Act. Grant of summary judgment
to employer is affirmed. Challenge to district court's findings of fact
do not support reversal, as challenge was underdeveloped and did not
establish material factual dispute. Emotional distress damages are not
recoverable under FMLA. District court did not abuse its discretion in
denying equitable relief, as no adverse employment action was taken
against employee and employee received requested FMLA leave.
