   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2093
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Ft. Dodge   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Family and Medical Leave Act. The district court's finding that plaintiff had transferred to another position before her termination was supported by record and was not clearly erroneous; district court did not err in finding defendant had waived the affirmative defense of failure to mitigate damages; assuming the issue was not waived, the district court's alternative finding that plaintiff's efforts to secure other employment were reasonable was supported by the record; under the circumstances of the case, the district court erred in awarding plaintiff front pay as the determination was unusually and overly speculative.
