ORDER on POST-TRIAL MOTION

This case was tried to a jury January 5-15, 2015, resulting in a verdict in favor of the
defendant. Plaintiffs move for judgment as a matter of law on certain issues and for a new trial.
The Court has reviewed the motion, response and reply. As the response points out, certain of
plaintiffs’ evidentiary objections were not contemporaneously raised. The other arguments were
considered and rejected by the Court before or during the trial. Having considered them again,
the Court is not persuaded to change its rulings. The argument concerning the negligence of
non-party Heatway was also mooted by the jury’s verdict. The motion [ECF No. 212] is denied.
DATED this 21st day of May, 2015.

BY THE COURT:
