Plаintiff Pricillа, а citizen оf Califоrnia, filed a diversity actiоn in federal district court against Defendant Delta Corp., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Texas. Pricilla alleged she was injured when a chair manufactured by Delta collapsed while she was sitting in it at her home. Pricilla’s complaint asserted claims for strict products liability and negligence. She sought $500,000 in compensatory damages. Pricilla demanded a jury trial in her complaint. Delta moved to strike Pricilla’s demand for a jury trial. The court denied Delta's motion. At trial, Pricilla testified that she purchased the chair new from a local retailer and that it collapsed under normal use. She introduced photographs of the broken chair. Pricilla did not present expert testimony. Delta presented testimony from its engineer, who states that the chair was properly designed and manufactured and that the break could only have occurred if the chair had been subjected to unusual stress. Delta also introduced evidence that Pricilla weighed 300 pounds at the time the chair broke, while the chair was rated for a maximum weight of 250 pounds. At the close of Pricilla’s case-in-chief, Delta moved for judgment as a matter of law. The court denied the motion. After Delta presented its case-in-chief, the jury returned a verdict for Pricilla, awarding her $500,000. Ten days after entry of judgment, Delta filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law. In the alternative, Delta moved for a new trial, arguing that the jury’s verdict is against the weight of the evidence. For the purposes of this question, assume there is valid personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction and that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure apply. DO NOT WRITE ON CALIFORNIA LAW!
