DENNIS IMWALLE, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. RELIANCE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC. et al., Defendants-Appellants. |
|
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Ohio at Cincinnati.
No. 04-00275—Herman J. Weber, District Judge.
Argued: October 30, 2007
Decided and Filed: February 8, 2008
Before: DAUGHTREY and GILMAN, Circuit Judges; EDMUNDS, District Judge.
RONALD LEE GILMAN, Circuit Judge. Dennis Imwalle became President of Reliance Medical Products, Inc. in 1990. He was fired in January of 2004, three months after he filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that alleged both age and national-origin discrimination. He was 62 years old at the time his employment ended. Imwalle’s suit in the district court resulted in a $185,000 jury verdict for compensatory damages based on his claim that he was fired in retaliation for filing his discrimination claims. The court subsequently awarded him approximately $250,000 more in attorney fees, costs, and prejudgment interest.
Reliance and its affiliated companies have appealed, challenging both the district court’s denial of their motion for judgment as a matter of law and the amount of the award for attorney fees and costs. For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Ohio at Dayton.
No. 06-00006—Walter H. Rice, District Judge.
Argued: January 30, 2008
Decided and Filed: February 8, 2008
Before: GUY, GILMAN, and McKEAGUE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Plaintiff Jeffrey Slyman was appointed by defendant the City of Piqua as an Assistant Law Director. When defendant Grant Kerber, Piqua’s then-Current Law Director and plaintiff’s supervisor, discharged Slyman, Slyman sued, alleging identical procedural due process violations against both Piqua and Kerber. The defendants moved for summary judgment, asserting that plaintiff’s due process claims fail because he did not have a federally protected property interest in continued employment.
The district court agreed and granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff filed this timely appeal.
Having had the benefit of oral argument and having carefully considered the record on appeal, we are not persuaded that a lengthy opinion is necessary. Accordingly, we AFFIRM for the reasons set forth in the well-reasoned opinion of the district court. See Slyman v. City of Piqua, 494 F. Supp. 2d 732 (S.D. Ohio. 2007).

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Ohio at Cincinnati.
No. 01-00182—S. Arthur Spiegel, District Judge.
Submitted: November 8, 2007
Decided and Filed: February 8, 2008
Before: KENNEDY, MARTIN, and COLE, Circuit Judges.
BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Circuit Judge. Darlington Amadasu, proceeding pro se, appeals a district court order dismissing his civil complaint. He moves for a copy of the transcripts at the government’s expense, for a stay of the briefing schedule, and for miscellaneous relief. The defendants move to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction due to Amadasu’s failure to file objections to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
. . .
Accordingly, all pending motions are denied. The Clerk shall accept no further pleadings from Mr. Amadasu without approval from a panel of this court.
