United States Second Circuit

Denial of defendants' renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law on qualified immunity grounds, after a jury verdict was rendered against them but before retrial as to the amount of punitive damages, is affirmed to the extent defendants' claim is without merit, and interlocutory appeal is otherwise dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
