Docket No. Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-1692 N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

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.
