Rivera-Oquendo v. Soto-Santiago

BESOSA, District Judge.

On September 11, 2007, the jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff, awarding no compensatory damages, but awarding punitive damages in the amount of $500.00. (Docket No. 49) The jury found that the plaintiff was subjected to an adverse employment action because “his working conditions were unreasonable inferior to the norm for his position”. Id. The jury found, however, that plaintiffs political affiliation was not the motivating factor for the adverse employment action.
