IRIS J. MILLS,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
BIRMINGHAM BOARD OF EDUCATION,
Defendant-Appellant.
________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama
_________________________
(November 16, 2006)
Before DUBINA, CARNES and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Iris Mills, appellee, was awarded damages on her claim of interference with
her rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601-2654(1994). The Birmingham Board of Education, appellant, appeals and raises two
issues: (1) Whether Mills is entitled to damages for such a claim, and (2) Whether
the district court erred in awarding liquidated damages.
After studying the record and the briefs of the parties, we find no merit in
these contentions. The case was properly submitted to a jury and the verdict is
supported by the evidence. Thereafter, the trial judge properly awarded liquidated
damages as provided for in the statutes.
AFFIRMED.
