   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and
   Wollman, Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Jury instructions submitting
   plaintiff's claim that Chrysler terminated him in retaliation for a
   previously filed charge of discrimination with the Missouri Commission
   on Human Rights were not erroneous; evidence was sufficient to support
   plaintiff' verdict under the Missouri Human Rights Act's contributing
   factor standard; evidence was sufficient to support the jury's award of
   damages; evidence was not sufficient to support a finding that Chrysler
   acted with an evil motive or deliberate indifference to plaintiff's rights
   and the court did not err in refusing to submit plaintiff's punitive
   damages claim to the jury; district court did not err in reducing plaintiff's
   attorneys' fee request; plaintiff's request for attorneys' fees for time spent
   on post-trial motions and appellate work remanded for further
   consideration.
