   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1953
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. The defendants' nebulous Rule 
   50(a) motion cannot serve as a basis for an appeal; the court would 
   construe as a Rule 59 motion that part of defendants' Rule 50(b) motion 
   that challenged the $340,000 damage award to plaintiff Nassar; without 
   improperly-awarded front pay, the only evidence of the value of Nassar's 
   salary and benefits during the term of his contract showed his damages 
   were $245,639, and the jury's damage award is remitted to that amount; if 
   Nassar does not accept the award, the district court should conduct a new 
   trial on the issue; in light of the reduction of Nassar's damage award, 
   the district court's award of attorneys' fees is vacated and remanded for 
   further consideration. Judge Bye, concurring in part and dissenting in 
   part.
