How courts have described this case

• holding that plaintiff’s testimony was sufficient to support the jury’s verdict where plaintiff testified regarding her lack of sleep, weight loss, and new smoking habit
• finding that a district court’s imposition of a higher rate than the federal rate to make a plaintiff whole in a Title VII case was not clear error
• noting that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate identity of circumstance as she was unable to show that her male counterparts had a pattern of disruptive behavior similar to hers
• “Since compensatory damages for emotional distress are necessarily vague and are generally considered a fact issue for the jury, they may not be amenable to the kind of calculation disclosure contemplated by Rule 26(a)(1)[(A)(iii)].”
• “Since compensatory 10 damages for emotional distress are necessarily vague and are generally considered a 11 fact issue for the jury, they may not be amenable to the kind of calculation disclosure 12 contemplated by Rule 26(a)(1)(C).”
