   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  23-1553
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Plaintiff, a City of Omaha police 
   officer, brought this action alleging the City retaliated against her for 
   protected activity of filing discrimination complaints. A jury found for 
   her and awarded her $700,000 in damages. The City appeals. The district 
   court's order denying the City's motion for summary judgment is not 
   reviewable after a trial on the merits; the City's attempt to recast the 
   issue, after the filing of the opening briefs, to raise the issue as a 
   challenge to the district court's order denying a motion for judgment as a 
   matter of law comes too late; the district court did not err in allowing 
   the admission of evidence from the Nebraska Employment Opportunity 
   Commission proceedings to impeach the police chief's trial testimony; the 
   award of attorney's fees is affirmed; fees for work performed during the 
   administrative proceedings were properly included in the award.
