MARYLAND <strong>RULES</strong> <strong>OF</strong> PROCEDURE<br />

TITLE 2 - CIVIL PROCEDURE — CIRCUIT COURT<br />

CHAPTER 500 - TRIAL<br />

AMEND Rule 2-532 to allow certain prematurely filed motions,<br />

as follows:<br />

Rule 2-532. MOTI<strong>ON</strong> FOR JUDGMENT NOTWITH<strong>STANDING</strong> THE VERDICT<br />

. . .<br />

(b) Time for Filing<br />

The motion shall be filed within ten days after entry of<br />

judgment on the verdict or, if no verdict is returned, within ten<br />

days after the discharge of the jury. If the court reserves<br />

ruling on a motion for judgment made at the close of all the<br />

evidence, that motion becomes a motion for judgment<br />

notwithstanding the verdict if the verdict is against the moving<br />

party or if no verdict is returned. A motion for judgment<br />

notwithstanding the verdict filed after the announcement or<br />

signing by the trial court of a judgment or the return of a<br />

verdict but before entry of the judgment on the docket shall be<br />

treated as filed on the same day as, but after, the entry on the<br />

docket.<br />

Cross reference: See Rule 8-205 requiring notice to the Clerk of<br />

the Court of Special Appeals of information not disclosed in an<br />

information report regarding the filing of a motion under this<br />

Rule, or its withdrawal or disposition.<br />
