                                 No. 15-30319
fault to Defendants and 50% of the fault to Lassere. Defendants appeal the
denial of their motion for judgment as a matter of law or, alternatively, a new
trial. Having carefully reviewed the parties’ arguments, the record, and the
pertinent case law, we find no reversible error.
      AFFIRMED.
