Stephanie Hicks v. City of Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided September 7, 2017No. 16-13003PublishedCited by 28 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WILSON, Circuit Judge:

Stephanie Hicks brought this action against the Tuscaloosa Police Department under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) after her reassignment and constructive discharge. Hicks prevailed at a jury trial, and the City now appeals the denial of its motion for judgment as a matter of law, its motion for a new trial, and the allegedly erroneous jury instructions. After a careful review of the record and the parties briefs, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no reversible error on any issue; we affirm.
