U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2793
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Murphy, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Family Medical Leave Act. Plaintiff established that she had
worked for defendant for at least 12 months and that she had provided
adequate notice of her need for FMLA leave and thus established her FMLA
entitlement claim; further, she established her FMLA-retaliation claim by
showing a causal connection between her termination and her assertion of
her FMLA rights; however, there were factual disputes regarding the proper
amount of damages, and the district court abused its discretion by
resolving the matter of damages; remanded for a jury trial on the issue of
damages.
