042603P.pdf   12/07/2005  Jose Corpus  v.  Tony Bennett
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2603
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Bright, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - civil rights. District court's reduction of jury award of
   $75,000 in nominal damages to one dollar for use of excessive force
   during pretrial detention is affirmed, as district court did not exercise its
   discretion to reduce award but reduced the award as a matter of law based
   on jury finding that use of force was not a direct cause of injury. District
   court did not err in not offering a choice between a new trial and
   reduction in award, as reduction was not a remittitur. Dissent by Judge
   Bright.
