BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge.
Defendant Dennis Ohman appeals the order of the district court, following a bench trial, entering judgment in favor of the plaintiff, Wendy Woodruff, on Wood-ruffs claims of gender discrimination and retaliation, awarding punitive damages and injunctive relief and ordering Ohman to apologize to Woodruff. Woodruff cross-appeals the district court’s order dismissing Woodruffs state law defamation claim against Ohman. For the reasons that follow, we will remand this matter for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
