[T][U] Larkins V. Delta Air Lines Inc‪.‬

This diversity action arose when Delta Air Lines, Inc. terminated Clarence Larkinss employment. Larkins alleged that Delta acted in violation of the Oregon Handicapped Persons Civil Rights Act, O.R.S. 659.400 to .435. At trial, Larkins litigated two claims. First, Larkins alleged that Delta failed to reinstate an occupationally injured employee to suitable alternative work, in violation of O.R.S. 659.420. Second, Larkins alleged that Delta failed to accommodate a physical impairment, in violation of O.R.S. 659.425. A jury found in favor of Larkins on the second claim only. The district court awarded Larkins $65,000 in compensatory damages, $19,440 in front pay, and $28,487 in attorneys fees, but denied him reinstatement and punitive damages. Delta appeals from the district courts judgment and award of attorneys fees. Larkins cross-appeals from the district courts denial of reinstatement and punitive damages. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.
