LAY, Circuit Judge.
A jury found that Gopher News Company discriminated against Lawrence J. Mathieu on the basis of disability. It awarded back pay and damages for emotional harm and recommended front pay. The magistrate judge 1 sitting by consent of the parties entered judgment on the verdict and awarded the front pay recommended by the jury. The magistrate judge multiplied the entire award by 1.5 pursuant to Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) § 363.071 subd. 2 and awarded Mathieu attorney’s fees. Gopher News asserts various errors of law. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
