S. Michael McKay Appellant/cross-Appellee v. Wiltel Communication Systems, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, Appellee/cross-Appellant

MURPHY, Circuit Judge.

Michael McKay sued his former employer, WilTel Communication Systems, Inc. (WilTel), to collect additional commissions on a large phone system sold by an affiliated company. The jury awarded McKay $119,215. McKay appeals from the judgment entered by the district court in his favor, arguing he should have also received statutory damages and attorney fees.
