18 Plaintiff Argument Against Def Motion by Bill Risner Pima County Election Trial

Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law.
At the end of plaintiff's testimony it is routine for the defendant to make what amounts to a renewed motion for summary judgment. In this context the motion would styled as motion for judgment as a matter of law. In any case, the judge is asked to view the testimony presented by the complaintant as true and all reasonable inference of that testimony as true and decide whether the judgment should none-the-less be entered for the defendant.
The motion was pro forma and merely renewed the pre-trial motion for summary judgment by the defendant. There was oral argument on the subject which gave both side a chance to trot out their best show horses for a pre-view of their closing arguments. The judge took very little time to consider the matter - he recessed to take it under advisement, but I wouldn't be surprised if he just needed a bathroom break.
