U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2975
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. District court abused its
discretion under Rule 408 by admitting plaintiff's separation agreement
because the proposal was an offer to compromise plaintiff's gender
discrimination claim and was improperly admitted to prove defendant's
liability; it is likely that this error materially influenced the jury's
verdict, and the case must be remanded for a new trial.
