The petition of the day is:

17-1692

Issue: Whether, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit held, the Seventh Amendment categorically bars review of district court denials of motions for a new trial made on the ground that the weight of the evidence does not support the verdict; or whether, as all other geographic circuits hold, such denials are reviewable.

Cases: Ahsan v. Staples the Office Superstore East Inc.
