   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3240
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Melloy, Circuit Judge, and Smith
   Camp, District Judge]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. Plaintiff presented sufficient
   evidence for a jury to conclude that she was constructively discharged
   when she was transferred from her position as finance coordinator to food
   services assistant on the basis of her race, and the district court erred in
   granting defendants' Rule 50 motion and setting aside the jury verdict on
   the constructive discharge claim; with respect to plaintiff's punitive
   damages claim, the district court's order granting defendants' Rule 50
   motion is vacated, and the matter is remanded to allow plaintiff to prove
   her claim, subject to the defendants' right to assert the affirmative defense
   of ignorance of federal law; the court's disposition of the appeal directly
   affects the degree of success plaintiff obtained in the action, and the issue
   of attorneys' fees is remanded for further proceedings.
