Heading: Gross-up on the Damages Awards

Text: Mr. O’Toole contends that the district court erred in declining to gross-up his damages awards to compensate for the taxation of those awards. Although Northrop Grumman opposed grossing-up the damages in its briefing before the district court, it now agrees that it would be appropriate to gross-up all of the SIP related damages. See id. at 7, 22, 23-34. The parties now both agree that grossing up the damages award in the amended judgment would be the correct -11- course. See id.; Aplt. Reply Br. at 10-11. As there is no longer a dispute between the parties on this issue, we need not reach the question of whether the district court erred in declining to gross-up the damages award. Because the parties are in agreement, we will direct the district court on remand to gross-up the damages award in the amended judgment.
