MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
YOUNG, District Judge.
The plaintiffs Francisco and Maria Cabral here move for a new trial following a jury verdict for the defendants in their civil rights action against police officers William Sullivan and Donald Breault. The Cabrals’ counsel raises but a single ground in the motion for a new trial, viz. that this Court knowingly violated Local Rule 48.1 1 and allowed jurors and alternates to deliberate together without the agreement of the parties. Even in the absence of any demonstrable prejudice, plaintiffs’ counsel claims that the Cabrals are entitled to a new trial.
