The following excerpt is from Garnett v. Undercover Officer C0039, 838 F.3d 265 (2nd Cir. 2016):
This court reviews a district court's denial of a motion for judgment as a matter of law de novo. Manganiello v. City of New York , 612 F.3d 149, 161 (2d Cir. 2010). In doing so, the court appl[ies] the same standards that are required of the district court. Id. (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Accordingly, the court must draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party, may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence[,] and must disregard all evidence favorable to the moving party that the jury is not required to believe. Id. (internal quotation marks, emphases, and citations omitted).
