Filing 113

ORDER Denying 112 Motion for Relief from Judgment or Order. Signed by District Judge Victoria A. Roberts. (LVer)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
JEFFREY AARON,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 15-11014
Honorable Victoria A. Roberts

JACKIE DYER, et al.,
Defendants.
___________________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT OR ORDER [Doc. 112]
On January 12, 2017, a jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendants, finding no
cause of action. The Court entered Judgment to that effect on January 17.
Following trial, Plaintiff Jeffrey Aaron filed a pro se Motion for New Trial pursuant
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59. In an Order dated August 22, 2017, the Court
denied Aaron’s Motion for New Trial. [Doc. 109]. The Court incorporates the factual
background and analysis from that Order by reference here.
Aaron now moves to vacate the Judgment and for a new trial pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(2), (3) and (6). [Doc. 112].
Aaron presents the same arguments and evidence that he set forth in his
supplemental brief in support of his Motion for New Trial, [see Doc. 106]. The Court
thoroughly addressed those arguments in its Order Denying Aaron’s Motion for New
Trial, [see Doc. 109]. Aaron fails to present new evidence or a new argument that
entitles him to relief from judgment or relief from the Court’s August 22 Order.

For the reasons articulated in the Court’s August 22 Order – as well as other
reasons specific to the applicable standards for Rule 60(b) motions – Aaron’s Motion for
Relief from Judgment or Order [Doc. 112] is DENIED.
IT IS ORDERED.
