   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2851
                          and No:  07-3030
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. Evidence was sufficient for a
   jury to find defendant had discriminated against plaintiff after he
   complained about discrimination; it was not error for the court to submit
   the issue of punitive damages to the jury as there was evidence that
   defendant acted with malice or reckless disregard to plaintiff's federally
   protected rights; district court did not err in denying employer's motion
   for judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff's claims for emotional
   distress; award of attorneys' fees affirmed.
