AUTHOR
Thomas

Question(s) Presented

“Whether the failure of a party to renew a motion for judgment as a matter of law following a jury verdict, in accordance with Rule 50(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, precludes an appellate court from reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence.”

Holding

“[S]ince respondent failed to renew its preverdict motion as specified in Rule 50(b), there was no basis for review of respondent’s sufficiency of the evidence challenge in the Court of Appeals.”
