OPINION

ESPINOSA, Chief Judge.

¶ 1 The state appeals from the trial court’s judgment in favor of plaintiff/appellee Cynthia Najar, and its denial of a new trial, on her claim that the state unlawfully denied her a promotion in retaliation for her actions in filing a sexual harassment grievance against her former supervisor. Because Na-jar did not show, nor did the trial court find, any retaliatory motivation or intent in the decision not to promote her, we reverse the judgment but remand for further proceedings on other retaliation issues the trial court did not reach.
