MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

DEBORAH A. ROBINSON, United States Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial "pursuant to Rule 59" of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Document No. 50) is pending for determination by the undersigned. Plaintiff, through his counsel, advances but two grounds for the relief which he seeks. First, Plaintiff maintains that "[t]he jury's verdict ... was a seriously erroneous result given the undisputed evidence that the subject accident ... caused at least some injury and damages[,]" (Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial at 5) and that "[t]he only plausible explanations for the verdict are that the jury did not comprehend the Court's instruction with regard to proximate cause or the jury allowed an improper factor to influence its deliberations and decision[]" (id. at 7). Second, Plaintiff hypothesizes that "[s]ince the jury also heard testimony regarding Plaintiff's homosexual lifestyle, the potential for bias, passion or prejudice against Plaintiff may explain the jury's finding with regard to the issue of proximate cause." Id.1 Plaintiff does not refer at all to the trial transcript; indeed, there is no indication in the ECF records that Plaintiff, in the intervening months, ever ordered it.2

Defendant opposes Plaintiff's motion, and submits that "the verdict returned by the jury in regard to damages was a just and proper verdict, [and] was not the result of sympathy, passion or prejudice[.]" Defendant's Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for a New Trial ("Defendant's Opposition") (Document No. 51) at 4. Defendant observes that during the trial, Defendant offered the testimony of the physician who conducted an independent medical examination of Plaintiff, and who opined, inter alia, that Plaintiff had no permanent injury as a result of the collision which was the subject of this action. Id. at 1-2. Defendant suggests that "the jury in considering... the testimonies of both of those [board] certified doctors could have easily found that the evidence was in fact balanced and [that] Plaintiff failed to meet his burden of proof." Id. at 3-4.3

DISCUSSION

Rule 59 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, in pertinent part, that "[t]he court may, on motion, grant a new trial on all or some of the issues ... after a jury trial, for any reason for which a new trial has heretofore been granted in an action at law in federal court[.]" Fed. R.Civ.P. 59(a)(1)(A). Generally, a new trial should be granted "only where the court is convinced the jury verdict was a `seriously erroneous result' and where the denial of the motion will result in `a clear miscarriage of justice.'" Martinez v. District of Columbia, 503 F.Supp.2d 353, 355 (D.D.C.2007) (citing Nyman v. FDIC, 967 F.Supp. 1562, 1569 (D.D.C.1997)) (citations and internal quotations omitted); see also In re Lorazepam & Clorazepate Antitrust Litig., 467 F.Supp.2d 74, 87 (D.D.C.2006) ("Generally, a new trial may only be granted when a manifest error of law or fact is presented."). In the determination of a motion for new trial, "the [trial] court should be mindful of the jury's special function in our legal system and hesitate to disturb its findings." Martinez, 503 F.Supp.2d at 355 (citation and internal quotations omitted); cf. Czekalski v. LaHood, 589 F.3d 449, 456 (D.C.Cir.2009) (the Circuit reviews de novo the trial court's denial of a motion for new trial; however, "[t]he jury's verdict stands `unless the evidence and all reasonable inferences that can be drawn therefrom are so one-sided that reasonable men and women could not disagree on the verdict.'") (citation and internal quotations omitted).

Upon consideration of this exacting standard, the undersigned finds that Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that a new trial is warranted. Without explanation, Plaintiff makes no reference to the trial transcript; instead, he opts to rely solely upon the transcript of the de bene esse deposition of his treating physician,4 and to ignore the testimony of the physician called by Defendant. Accordingly, Plaintiff's claim that at trial he offered "undisputed" evidence that he suffered "at least some injury" as a result of the collision which was the subject of this action (see Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial at 5; see also Plaintiff's Reply to Defendant's Memorandum in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial (Document No. 52) at 2) is entirely unsupported by the record of the trial. Cf. Martinez, 503 F.Supp.2d at 354, n. 1 (after the plaintiffs timely filed a motion for new trial, trial court ordered them "to resubmit their [m]otion ... with transcript references[.]").5

The undersigned finds that Plaintiff's suggestion that one "plausible explanation[]" for the award of no damages is that "the jury did not comprehend the Court's instruction with regard to proximate cause" (see Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial at 7) is equally specious: Plaintiff neither identifies the instruction about which he complains, nor makes any effort to offer a factual basis in support of his claim that "the jury did not comprehend" unidentified the instruction. To the extent which Plaintiff's claim can be read as a suggestion that an instruction was objectionable, any such suggestion likewise fails: Plaintiff does not indicate that he objected to the instruction during the court's extensive conference regarding the instructions, or at any time thereafter. Medina v. District of Columbia, 718 F.Supp.2d 34, 51 (D.D.C. 2010) ("Surely[] [a party] cannot press as grounds for a new trial an objection that it never made at the trial[.]"); see also Fed. R.Civ.P. 51(d)(1)(A) (a party may assign as error "an error in an instruction actually given, if that party properly objected[.]"); cf. Czekalski, 589 F.3d at 455 ("[A]s long as a district judge's instructions are legally correct ... [she] is not required to give them in any particular language.") (citation and internal quotations omitted).

Finally, Plaintiff fails to identify the "testimony regarding [his] homosexual lifestyle" which "may" account for the finding of the jury with respect to damages. See Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial at 7. The undersigned finds that such claim— unsupported by any factual basis—can only be regarded as rank speculation. In any event, since the testimony to which Plaintiff refers was offered by Plaintiff, such testimony cannot constitute a ground of Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial. Cf. Medina, 718 F.Supp.2d at 51-52 (admission of evidence to which a party stipulated cannot constitute a ground of a motion for new trial).

CONCLUSION

For all of the foregoing reasons, it is, this 15th day of October, 2010,

ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial (Document No. 15) is DENIED.
