MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
MATTHEW F. KENNELLY, District Judge.

Jimenez served approximately sixteen years in prison before his conviction was vacated and he was released. In January 2012, a jury returned a verdict in favor of Jimenez and awarded him $25 million. Defendants have moved for a new trial and for judgment as a matter of law on Jimenez’s claims. For the reasons stated below, the Court denies defendants’ motions.
