Case Law - save on Lexis / WestLaw. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 92-3441 MATTHUS M. WEST, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus RESOLUTION TRUST COMPANY as Receiver for Pelican Homestead and Savings Association, Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana ( May 20, 1994 ) Before Reynaldo G. GARZA, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge: Matthus M. West sued his former employer for sex and age discrimination. More than seven months after West filed suit, the Civil Rights Act of 1991 became effective. West moved for a jury trial on his sex discrimination claim. The district court denied that motion, but allowed this interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) to determine whether the Act's jury trial and compensatory damage provisions apply retroactively to West's claim. They do not. See Landgraf v. USI Film Products, No. 92-757, 1994 U.S. LEXIS 3292 (April 26, 1994). AFFIRMED. |
