   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3346
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Federal Rail Safety Act. Judgment had not been entered as a 
   matter of course under Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(c)(2), and defendant's renewed 
   motion for judgment as a matter of law was timely; the district court 
   erred in granting defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law as 
   there was a legally sufficient evidentiary basis to support the jury's 
   findings that requiring an employee to wear a seatbelt while hy-railing 
   was a hazardous safety condition and that defendant intentionally 
   retaliated against plaintiff for reporting, in good faith, a hazardous 
   safety condition; further, the district court abused its discretion in 
   alternatively granting defendant a new trial on these facts; on remand, 
   the district court should reconsider plaintiff's request for 
   reinstatement.
