REYNOLDS, District Judge.
In May 1989, plaintiffs Phyllis and Steve Groom (“Grooms”) filed a diversity action for negligence and loss of consortium against Days Inn of America (“Days inn”), in the Southern District of Illinois. The Grooms sought damages for injuries sustained when Phyllis slipped and fell while walking down a Days Inn outside stairwell. A jury returned a verdict for Days Inn. In April 1991, the trial court denied the Grooms’ post-trial motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial, and the Grooms appealed. 1 We affirm.
