DEBORAH S. HUNT, Clerk
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR
THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF
MICHIGAN
MEMORANDUM
OPINION
BEFORE: NORRIS, CLAY, and KETHLEDGE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Plaintiff Jaroslaw Waskowski was involved in a car accident, and sued
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in Michigan state court after State Farm
terminated his benefits. State Farm removed the action to federal court where, after a five-day
trial, the jury returned a verdict that Waskowski was in fact injured in the car accident, but that
State Farm owed no additional benefits beyond the amount it had already paid. Waskowski
appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to amend the judgment to add damages or, in the
alternative, his motion for a new trial on damages.
The panel has had the opportunity to consider the arguments advanced by the parties and
to conduct our own independent review of the record on appeal. In this case, the district court
issued an Opinion and Order which explains in detail the analysis behind the court’s denial of
plaintiff’s motions. Waskowski v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., No. 11-CV-13036, 2013 WL
