摘要：The Department of Corrections (DOC) appeals a trial court judgment based on a jury’s verdict in favor of Plaintiff Ellen Shackelford. The jury returned a verdict finding in favor of Defendant Greg Province on Plaintiff’s claim against him, but it returned a verdict finding in her favor on a handicap discrimination theory of relief against DOC, her former employer, as permitted by 25 O.S.2001 § 1901,1 a part of Oklahoma’s anti-discrimination statutes, 25 O.S.2001 §§ 1101, et seq. (the Act), and awarded damages of $1,250,000.00. The jury also found in favor of Plaintiff on her retaliatory discharge theory of relief under 85 O.S.Supp.2005 § 5, and awarded damages of $1.00.2 In this appeal, DOC does not assert any error with regard to the latter award but, as to the first award, argues that the trial court lacked jurisdiction of any claim under the Act because Plaintiff failed to exhaust the administrative remedies required by the Act. We agree.
