ORDER ON MOTION: At the close of testimony presented by the plaintiff during the evidentiary hearing held in this case on 11/3/2016, counsel for the defendants made an oral motion for judgment as a matter of law on the basis of the plaintiffs failure to present evidence in support of the failure-to-protect claims lodged against the defendants, and subsequently renewed this motion. The court took these motions under advisement. Upon consideration of the defendants motion for judgment as a matter of law and their renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law, the court deems the requested actionto be procedurally improper in as much as Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50 provides an avenue for judgment as a matter of law only in the context of a jury trial. See FRCP 50(a)(1). It is therefore ORDERED that the oral motions are hereby DENIED. Signed by Honorable Judge Gray M. Borden on 11/16/2016. (dmn, )
