Description
Plaintiff Sheldon Wulf commenced this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against his former employer, the City of Wichita (the "City"), and against the City Manager and the Chief of Police, alleging that his dismissal from the police force because of a letter he wrote violated his First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. After a trial to the court, Wulf was awarded damages of $702,642.95, allocated as follows: $250,000 for emotional distress, $242,465.95 for back pay, and $210,177.00 for front pay, in lieu of reinstatement. The district court additionally assessed $50,000 in punitive damages against the Chief of Police alone. Wulf's counsel was awarded $272,725.15 in attorneys' fees and $7,676.70 in costs. Defendants appeal, challenging the finding of liability, the amount of damages awarded, and the attorneys' fees.*fn1 We affirm in part, reverse in part and remand.
