PASSAGE

In a jury trial, the jury returns a verdict for Plaintiff on liability but cannot reach a verdict on Defendant's counterclaim. The court enters judgment on the liability verdict on March 1 and discharges the jury that same day. On March 30, Defendant files a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law directed solely to the counterclaim, arguing that Plaintiff adduced no evidence to support it. Rule 50(b provides: "No later than 28 days after the entry of judgment—or if themotion addresses a jury issue not decided by verdict, no later than 28 days after the jury is discharged—the movant may file a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law." The motion does not address the liability verdict.

Is Defendant's renewed motion timely as to the counterclaim?
