PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO AMEND A JUDGMENT
PURSUANT TO F. R. CIV. P. 59(e)
AND FOR REARGUMENT PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 7.1.5
Plaintiffs respectfully move for reargument on the various motions which were pending
before the Court and to amend the C0urt’s Order of July 5, 2006 by vacating it and withdrawing
its Memorandum and assign in support thereof the following:
1. It is undisputed that defendant DRBA failed to renew its Rule 50 Motion at the close
of all the evidence as required by F. R. Civ. P. 50(b), so the Court is without jurisdiction to grant
the Motion for Judgment as a matter of law, and its Memorandum should be withdrawn and its
Order should be vacated.
2. The Court failed to consider that all inferences from the evidence are to be drawn in
plaintiffs’ favor since they were the verdict winners, so the COl1I`I’S reasoning is in error and the
Memorandum should be withdrawn and the Order of July 5, 2006 should be vacated.
WHEREFORE, plaintiffs request the relief being sought.
