Steven W. SOUDERS, Plaintiff, v. FLEMING COMPANIES, INC., Defendant.
    No. 4:CV95-3407.
    United States District Court, D. Nebraska.
    April 17, 1997.
    
      Susan M. Ugai, Ugai & Lindgren, Lincoln, NE, for Plaintiff.

   MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

KOPF, District Judge.

The pretrial conference order in this case presents the question of whether the plaintiff is entitled to a jury trial in this Family and Medical Leave Act case. I conclude that as to liability and back pay, the plaintiff is entitled to a jury trial. Helmly v. Stone Container Corp., 957 F.Supp. 1274 (S.D.Ga.1997). As to equitable issues such as reinstatement and front pay, I conclude that those issues are for the court. Cf., Newhouse v. McCormick & Co., Inc., 110 F.3d 635 (8th Cir.1997).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
