Under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment, the determination whether punitive damages are
excessive turns on several factors, including the
egregiousness of the conduct, the proportionality between
punitive and compensatory damages awards, and the amount
of the punitive damages awarded or upheld in similar cases.
See State Farm Mut. Automobile Ins. Co. v. Campbell,
538 U.S. 408, 418 (2003). As applied to facts of this case,
these factors do not warrant reversal.
