   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2220
                          and No:  05-2429
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
   McMillian, Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. Plaintiff's evidence failed to
   support an award of punitive damages, and the district court did not err in
   setting aside the jury's award of punitive damages; doctrine of res
   judicata did not bar this suit, as the conduct complained of in an earlier
   lawsuit was sufficiently dissimilar to the claims in this suit; evidence was
   sufficient to submit the issue of racial discrimination to the jury and for
   the jury to have found in favor of plaintiff.
