09-15912 2
damages on her claim under the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”)
following our remand vacating the district court’s judgment for defendant
Supercuts on this claim. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review
for clear error the district court’s computation of damages, Amantea-Cabrera v.
Potter, 279 F.3d 746, 750 (9th Cir. 2002), and we affirm.
The district court did not clearly err in its calculation of damages based on
the evidence presented at the bench trial. See 29 U.S.C. § 2617(a)(1)(A) (setting
forth damages available under the FMLA).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by concluding that a second
trial on damages was not warranted. See Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. v. Pfeifer,
462 U.S. 523, 551 (1983) (“On remand, the decision on whether to reopen the
record [on damages] should be left to the sound discretion of the trial court.”).
Csanyi’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
