v.
GENLYTE THOMAS GROUP LLC, doing business as Day-Brite Lighting Inc
Defendant - Appellant-Cross-Appellee
Appeals from the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Mississippi, Aberdeen
1:01-CV-285-M-D
Before KING, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and DAVIS, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The district court correctly held that the sexual harassment
claim of Plaintiff-Appellee Patricia Mitchell was not time-barred
as Mitchell introduced sufficient evidence of related
discriminatory acts within the statutory period. Further,
sufficient evidence supports the jury verdict on Mitchell’s
sexual harassment and retaliation claims and the amount of

emotional distress damages found by the jury, and the district
court did not err in denying Defendant-Appellant Genlyte Thomas
Group, LLC’s motion for judgment as a matter of law as to these
verdicts. Finally, the district court correctly reconciled the
jury’s verdicts on Mitchell’s failure to promote claim.
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Costs shall
be borne by Genlyte.
