Date Filed Document Text
August 14, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 702587777 Filed opinion of the court by Judge Wood. Although the court erred by failing to give the winning plaintiffs the option of a new trial, the remedy here is not a remand to re-run the remittitur procedure. We agree with the Adams brothers that the district court abused its discretion by modifying the jury s verdicts in their favor. We therefore VACATE the district court s judgments in their cases and REMAND with instructions to reinstate the jury s verdict. Diane P. Wood, Chief Judge; Ilana Diamond Rovner, Circuit Judge and Theresa L. Springmann,* District Court Judge. (*Hon. Theresa L. Springmann of the Northern District of Indiana, sitting by designation.)
