Throneberry v. McGehee Desha County Hospital
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
RILEY, Circuit Judge.
Does the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601-2654, mandate strict liability for employers in all cases in which an employer interferes with an employee’s FMLA rights? We conclude it does not.
Sandra Throneberry (Throneberry) sued her employer, McGehee Desha County Hospital (Hospital), alleging three violations of the FMLA. After a jury trial, the district court 1 entered judgment in the Hospital’s favor, and later denied Throne-berry’s Motion for a New Trial, Judgment as a Matter of Law, and to Alter or Amend. We affirm.
