How have the courts treated a motion for a new trial in a case involving statistical discrimination?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Luciano v. Olsten Corp., 110 F.3d 210 (2nd Cir. 1997):

We next consider whether the district court erred in denying the defendants a new trial. Defendants contend principally that: (1) the district court should have excluded statistical compilations from the evidence at trial, and (2) the jury's finding of intentional discrimination was based on erroneous and misleading jury instructions. We review a district court's decision to grant or deny a motion for a new trial for an abuse of discretion. See Song v. Ives Labs., Inc., 957 F.2d 1041, 1047 (2d Cir.1992).
