   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1061
                          and No:  12-1277
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Colloton,
   Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Evidence was sufficient under 
   Missouri law to support an award of punitive damages in this age 
   discrimination case; the $500,000 punitive-damages award did not shock 
   the conscience or demonstrate prejudice and did not violate defendant's 
   due process rights; even assuming challenged statement was hearsay, it 
   was not so prejudicial as to require a new trial; district court applied 
   the proper standard of review when considering defendant's motion for new 
   trial; a Rule 59(e) motion is not the proper mechanism to seek 
   reconsideration of an award of attorneys' fees, and the court did not err 
   in denying the motion.
