United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ENERTRODE, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

GENERAL CAPACITOR CO. LTD, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-02458-HSG 

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR

JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW 

AS MOOT

Dkt. Nos. 318, 358

On January 30, 2019, the Court entered final judgment memorializing the jury’s verdict. 

Dkt. No. 384. Because the Court did not grant either party’s motion for judgment as a matter of 

law under Rule 50(a) before submitting the case to the jury subject to the court’s later deciding the 

legal questions raised, Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(b), the pre-verdict motions are now moot and thus 

DENIED. See Dkt. Nos. 318, 358.

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b), a party may file a renewed motion for 

judgment as a matter of law and/or for new trial “[n]o later than 28 days after the entry of 

judgment.” Unless otherwise ordered, any renewed motion will be taken under submission on the 

papers once the briefing is complete.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
