Judgment was entered on March 19, 1999, following a verdict in Madison's favor on all counts. Presently before the Court are the following: Plaintiff's Motion to Amend Judgment under Fed.R.Civ.P. 50, 58 and 59(e) (Clerk's No. 209); Defendant's Motion for New Trial under Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 (Clerk's No. 212); Defendant's Renewed Rule 50 Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law (Clerk's No 213); Defendant's Rule 59(e) Motion to Alter or Amend the Judgment (Clerk's No. 214); Plaintiff's claim for equitable relief, including front pay damages (Proposed Findings of Fact on Equitable Relief) (Clerk's No. 174); and Plaintiff's Application for Attorney Fees and Costs (Clerk's No. 215).
