Nelson v. Katona

Ct. of Appeals affirmed jury’s verdict in favor of defendant in section 1983 action alleging that defendant terminated plaintiff from her position in County Auditor’s office in retaliation for her political support of Barack Obama, where plaintiff challenged sufficiency of evidence supporting jury’s verdict, and where plaintiff had failed to file with Dist. Ct. any post-verdict motion raising said issue as required under Rule 50(b). Party’s failure to comply with Rule 50(b) forecloses any challenge to sufficiency of evidence on appeal.
