United States Second Circuit

The district court's denial of defendant's post-trial motions following judgment awarding plaintiff damages on her claim of malicious prosecution, is: 1) affirmed in part, where the district court did not err in denying defendant's motions for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial on liability; but 2) reversed in part unless plaintiff accepts a remittitur reducing her award, where the jury's award of damages is excessive.
