Joseph L. Cassady v. Dillard Department Stores, Doing Business as Dillard's, Inc.

BOWMAN, Chief Judge.

Dillard Department Stores appeals from the judgment of the District Court entered on a jury verdict in favor of Joseph Cassady on his claim of malicious prosecution. We vacate the judgment of the District Court and remand for entry of judgment as a matter of law (JAML) in favor of Dillard’s.

We review de novo the District Court’s decision to deny Dillard’s motion for JAML, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict and giving Cassady the benefit of all reasonable inferences that may be drawn from the evidence. See Roberts v. Unidynamics Corp., 126 F.3d…
