Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
________________________
(October 31, 2006)
Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The district court denied appellant’s motion for judgment as a matter of law
notwithstanding the jury’s verdict and alternative motion for a new trial on the
issue of damages. The court denied the motion for judgment as a matter of law
because the evidence did not point so overwhelmingly in favor of the plaintiff that
a reasonable jury could not return a verdict for the defendants. After reviewing
the relevant portions of the trial transcript, we agree with the district court and
thus affirm its ruling.
AFFIRMED.
