Description

Jordan Blair sued the Appellees, alleging that they violated various federal and state laws while Blair was a student at boarding schools in Missouri and Florida. Prior to trial, the District Court granted the Appellees motion to dismiss Blairs claim under 42 U.S.C. Â§ 1983 (2000) and the Appellees motion for summary judgment on Blairs state-law claim of false imprisonment. The District Court also granted summary judgment on Blairs state-law battery claim with respect to all Appellees except for Bo Gerhardt. During trial, the District Court granted the Appellees motion for judgment as a matter of law on Blairs claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 201--219 (2000). Blairs battery claim against Bo Gerhardt was submitted to the jury, which returned a verdict against Gerhardt and awarded Blair $20,000 in damages. The District Court denied Gerhardts motion for a new trial. Blair appeals the District Courts adverse rulings as to his claims, and we affirm. Bo Gerhardt cross-appeals the District Courts denial of his motion for a new trial. We reverse the District Courts judgment with respect to Gerhardts motion and remand for a new trial.
