   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1414
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
   Smith, Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Giving all reasonable inferences to the jury's verdict in favor of plaintiff, plaintiff established a prima facie case of disability discrimination, and the defendant was not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the claim; evidence was sufficient for the district court to submit the issue of punitive damages to the jury, as there was evidence defendant acted with malice or reckless indifference when it made its hiring decision; district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion to remit the jury's award of back pay, as the evidence was sufficient to support a finding that plaintiff mitigated his damages; award of one year's worth front pay was not an abuse of discretion.
