Jaramillo v. Otoole

Wil-Don Inc. sued Jaramillo in magistrate court, alleging breach of contract. The case was tried before a jury, which found in favor of Jaramillo. Wil-Don moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict; the magistrate judge denied the motion and instead ordered a new trial. Jaramillo then sought a writ of prohibition from district court. The permanent writ was denied, and Jaramillo appeals the district courts decision. We reverse.
