ROBERTS v. FIRST-CITIZENS BANK AND TRUST CO.

No. COA95-1369.

478 S.E.2d 809 (1996)

Jennie S. ROBERTS, Plaintiff, v. FIRST-CITIZENS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, Defendant.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

December 17, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy and Kennedy, L.L.P., by Harold L. Kennedy, III, Harvey L. Kennedy, Annie Brown Kennedy and Lauren Michelle Collins, Winston-Salem, for plaintiff-appellee.

Ward and Smith, P.A., by William Joseph Austin, Jr. and Anne D. Edwards, New Bern, for defendant-appellant.

LEWIS, Judge.

The issue before us is whether plaintiff was wrongfully discharged from her employment with defendant. A jury determined that she was and awarded her $300,000 in compensatory damages and $1,000,000 in punitive damages. Defendant moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict ("JNOV") and alternatively, for a new trial. Both motions were denied. Defendant appeals from the final judgment and from the order denying its motions.
