   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1772
                          and No:  13-1875
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Murphy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. On plaintiff's claim for Family 
   Medical Leave Act retaliation, viewing the evidence in the light most 
   favorable to plaintiff, sufficient evidence supported the jury's finding 
   that plaintiff was able to perform the essential function of the job for 
   which he interviewed; plaintiff also presented sufficient evidence to 
   support an inference of a retaliatory motive on the part of the defendant; 
   no error in granting defendant judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff's 
   Arkansas Civil Rights Act claims affirmed as plaintiff failed to put forth 
   sufficient facts for a jury to conclude that defendant did not rehire him 
   because of a disability; the Arkansas Civil Rights Act claim submitted to 
   the jury did not provide a basis for the jury's award of 
   emotional-distress damages, and the district court did not err in vacating 
   that award; the district court abused its discretion when it denied 
   plaintiff's claim for liquidated damages.
