Before HULL and DUBINA, Circuit Judges, and BOWEN,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Defendant Spirit Airlines, Inc. appeals the denial of its Motion for New Trial
as well as the partial denial of its Motion for Remittitur or, in the Alternative,
Motion for New Trial as to excessive damages. Plaintiff Serge Bralo cross-appeals
the district court’s denial of Bralo’s post-trial Motion for frontpay. After careful
review of the briefs and record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no
reversible error in the rulings of the district court. And we affirm the district
court’s entry of judgment in favor of the plaintiff Bralo against the defendant Spirit
Airlines, Inc. in the amount of $453,201.01, which includes: (1) $143,201.01 in
back pay and prejudgment interest; (2) $10,000 in compensatory damages; and (3)
$300,000 in punitive damages. Post-judgment interest shall accrue pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1961(a).
AFFIRMED.
