Outcome
The court granted the defendant's Rule 50 motion for judgment as a matter of law on the plaintiff's marital status discrimination claims, finding no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for the discrimination claim and ruling that Nebraska law defines 'marital status' narrowly as only 'married' or 'single,' not including separated or divorced status.
