The following excerpt is from Belanger v. Boise Cascade Corp., 968 F.2d 254 (2nd Cir. 1992):
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, a directed verdict may be granted only if there is no probative evidence to support a verdict for the non-moving party or the evidence so overwhelmingly favors the moving party that a reasonable jury could not find against her. See Powell v. Gardner, 891 F.2d 1039, 1043 (2d Cir.1989).
