Heading: R.C.P. 59(a)(7) provides in part:

Text: 7. Any motion based on subdivisions 6 or 7 must set forth the factual grounds therefor with particularity. On a motion for new trial in an action tried without a jury, the court may open the judgment if one has been entered, take additional testimony, amend findings of fact and conclusions of law or make new findings and conclusions, and direct the entry of a new judgment. Reynolds failed to set forth with particularity the factual grounds in support of his motion. Without the benefit of such specificity, the trial court could not determine that the motion was based upon the grounds now argued for the first time on appeal. Because Reynolds failed to set forth factual grounds in support of his motion at the time it was presented to the trial court, we reject his claim of error without reaching its merits.
