Text: “We review de novo a trial court’s resolution of a Rule 50(a) motion for judgment as a matter of law, viewing all of the evidence ‘in the light and with all reasonable inferences most favorable to the party opposed to the motion.’” MGE UPS Sys., Inc. v. GE Consumer Indus., Inc., 622 F.3d 361, 365 (5th Cir. 2010) (quoting Resolution Trust Corp. v. Cramer, 6 F.3d 1102, 1109 (5th Cir. 1993)). A Rule 50(a) motion is properly granted “[i]f the facts and inferences point so strongly and overwhelmingly in favor of the moving party . . . that reasonable jurors could not have arrived at a contrary verdict.” Id.
