The following excerpt is from Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. v. Drysdale Securities Corp., 801 F.2d 13 (2nd Cir. 1986):
The judgment herein must be sustained if any one of the indicated bases for the verdict is sustained. See, e.g., Turner v. United States, 396 U.S. 398, 420-21, 90 S.Ct. 642, 654, 24 L.Ed.2d 610 (1970). Since, as discussed, we affirm on the basis of the claim under section 10(b), one of the bases on which the jury clearly returned its verdict, the verdict procedure poses no bar to our affirming the judgment of the district court.
