Overview of First Amended Complaint

In the initial complaint, Ryan was seeking:  

- back pay from November 2004
    - $200,000 in front pay or, alternatively, reinstatement to his job;
    - $unquantified for cost of relocation and job search;
    - $unquantified for lost value of medical insurance, retirement plan, benefits;
    - $unquantified damages for emotional distress and damage to his reputation;
    - $unquantified punitive damages.

In his amended complaint, he is seeking:

- back pay from November 2004
- $200,000 in front pay or, alternatively, reinstatement to his job;
- $unquantified for cost of relocation and job search;
- $unquantified for lost value of medical insurance, retirement plan, benefits;
- $100,000 for emotional distress and damage to his reputation; and
- $1,000,000 in punitive damages.

In my view, the First Amended Complaint is no improvement over the initial Complaint insofar as pleadings go.  In my view, it still does not disclose any reasonable cause of action.
