Lee v. GTE Florida, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided September 13, 2000No. 98-3380PublishedCited by 110 opinions
1Per curiam
Defendant GTE Florida appeals from the district court’s denial of its Rule 50(b) motion for judgment as a matter of law as to Plaintiff Andrea Lee’s Title VII sex discrimination claim. Lee cross-appeals the district court’s reversal of the jury’s punitive damages award and its award of only two years of front pay. Because the evidence Lee presented at trial to prove pretext was not legally sufficient to support a jury verdict in her favor, the district court erred in denying GTE’s motion for judgment as a matter of law and we reverse. In light of this ruling, the cross appeal is moot.
