Motion: Judgment as a Matter of Law Under FRCP 50(a): Proposed Order

This legal template incorporates a motion seeking the entry of a judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The motion is typically filed by one party during a trial or after the presentation of evidence has concluded but before the case is presented to the jury for their verdict. The motion argues that based on the evidence presented, no reasonable jury could find in favor of the opposing party, therefore requesting the court to enter judgment in their favor. This proposed order, a document accompanying the motion, presents a drafted version for the judge's consideration. It suggests the specific language and terms that the proponent would like the judge to adopt if they grant the motion. The proposed order is designed to streamline the process and provide the court with a template that reflects the movant's desired outcome. However, the court ultimately has the authority to modify or reject the proposed order at their discretion.
