Losing a 50(a) -> 50(b)?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, June 25 2012 @ 05:23 PM EDT
Both sides raised 50(a) motions for JMOL on various issues.

To the extent those motions were lost, I was of the
impression (possibly erroneously) that a party was pretty
much required to follow up with a 50(b) motion post-
judgement to preserve the ability to ask an appellate court
to grant them relief as a matter of law. In other words, if
you could have filed a 50(b) and didn't, that fact can be
used to deny an appeal to grant your JMOL.

In other words, to preserve the (slim) hope that an
appellate court will not only rule for them, but do so as a
matter of law so they can avoid a re-trial, they're
basically required to submit this motion.

From what I learned from the SCO trial, will Google file any 50a motions?

Sorry, I meant 50(b). I can't remember 7 digits of a phone number between when I
read it and when I enter it into the phone, let alone these new-fangled 10 digit
numbers. That's what I get for not having a tab with the original article open
while filing the question.

But, the question remains, do we expect any 50(b) motions from Google?
