MEMORANDUM
JOHN MORGAN DAVIS, Senior District Judge.
After a jury trial in this fire property loss action, a verdict was returned in favor of the defendants Vincent and Kathleen Poretti. Before the court are plaintiff’s motions for judgment n. o. v. or, in the alternative, for a new trial. In addition, third-party plaintiffs move for a new trial against third-party defendants in the event a new trial is granted to plaintiffs. After careful consideration of plaintiff’s motions, I have concluded that the arguments raised therein are without merit and they are denied accordingly. 1
