PETTY v. N.E. ILL. REGIONAL COMMUTER R.R.

No. 90 C 6984.

799 F.Supp. 848 (1992)

Zaron Lee PETTY, Plaintiff, v. NORTHEAST ILLINOIS REGIONAL COMMUTER RAILROAD CORPORATION, Defendant.

United States District Court, N.D. Illinois, E.D.

May 12, 1992.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Timothy O. O'Sullivan, St. Louis, Mo., Karolo Michael Karacie, Carroll & Sain, Ltd., Chicago, Ill., for plaintiff.

Bernard Roccanova, Raymond Hugo Groble, Ross & Hardies, Chicago, Ill., for defendant.

ORDER

BOBRICK, United States Magistrate Judge.

This matter is before the court on plaintiff's motion for a new trial and the court's own initiative to consider a new trial. We find that the jury verdict as to damages (in the amount of $60,000) awarded plaintiff to be against the clear weight of the evidence resulting in substantial injustice, and as such a new trial will be granted on that issue. Hardin v. Paradigm, 962 F.2d 628
