Heading: Liquidated Damages Against Warren

Text: 62 Warren argues that liquidated damages cannot be awarded against him because his liability was predicated solely on New York's Human Rights Law, which does not provide for liquidated damages. Plaintiffs do not appear to dispute this argument. 63 A review of the record plainly reveals that the jury was properly instructed to consider liquidated damages only as against the Transit Authority and that it only awarded these damages against that defendant. To the extent the judgment in this case indicates that all damages are recoverable from all defendants, the error appears to have been inadvertent. Because the error is purely legal, it is easily corrected on appeal. See Baker v. Dorfman, 239 F.3d 415, 420-21 (2d Cir.2000) (holding that error in a final judgment may be corrected on appeal where the issue is purely legal, requires no fact finding, and is easily resolved). We hereby vacate the judgment insofar as it awards liquidated damages against Warren. 64
