RULE 50. MOTIONS FOR DIRECTED VERDICT AND FOR JUDGMENT NOTWITHSTANDING THE VERDICT.

1. A party who moves for a directed verdict at the close of the evidence offered by the opposing side may offer evidence as if no motion has been made in the event that the motion is denied.  A motion for directed verdict shall state the grounds therefore, and may be granted by the Court without the consent of the jury.
2. A party who has moved for a directed verdict at the close of all the evidence as if no motion has been made in the event that the motion has been denied, or not ruled upon, may within ten (10) days after entry of judgment move to have the verdict and any judgment thereon set aside and entered according to his motion for directed verdict or if there has been a verdict, the party may so move within ten (10) days after the jury has been discharged.  A motion for a new trial may be made in the alternative under the same restrictions.  The Court shall enter judgment or make any Orders consistent with his decision on the motions.
