Opinion
Civil Action No. 01-cv-02056-JLK.

ORDER
This aviation products liability action was tried to a jury in June, resulting in a mixed but favorable verdict for Plaintiffs. It is before me now on Defendant Pratt Whitney Canada's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law or for New Trial (Doc. 214), together with the Pilatus Defendants' Motion for Joinder therein (Doc. 215), which is GRANTED. After careful consideration of each of Pratt Whitney's assertions of error in the jury's findings, I reject the contention that any of the jury's verdict was supported by legally insufficient evidence and DENY the Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law. I also decline to exercise my discretion to order a new trial. Further challenges to the verdict must be made to the Court of Appeals.
