J. Manasco denies a logistics company’s renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law and its motion for a new trial; grants in part its motion for a remittitur in this ADA and FMLA employment dispute brought by a former employee. The evidence presented to the jury was sufficient enough to show the company’s failure to notify the employee of his FMLA interference claim. The company argues that the jury’s verdicts for FMLA interference and retaliation claims were inconsistent and irreconcilable because the employee failed to give proper notice of his surgery. The jury’s award of compensatory and punitive damages for the ADA claims is to be reduced and may not exceed $300,000. The court grants the employee’s motion for attorney fees and expenses and his motion to alter or amend the final judgment. The employee is awarded $210,560 in attorney fees and $10,822.71 in expenses.
