Heading: Bristol's qualifications for the appraiser-trainee position

Text: 102 Appellants assert that the district court erred in denying their motion under Rule 50 that Bristol was not qualified for the position of appraiser-trainee as a matter of law. We note, however, that the County reviewed Bristol's resume and decided to interview him. This indicates that the County believed that he was qualified enough to merit an interview. In addition, Dr. Bourn testified at length as to why Bristol was qualified for the position of appraiser-trainee. 8 Bristol himself also testified as to why he believed he was qualified for the position. The jury heard testimony about the job description, which was entered as plaintiff's exhibit # 9, and why Bristol would or would not fit that description. On appeal, we review the district court's denial of a Rule 50 motion by examining the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, in this case Bristol. In that light, there was clearly enough evidence to support the court's denial of Appellants' motion and to send the issue to the jury. We thus affirm the district court's decision.
