___________________ , STATE WHETHER PLAINTIFF OR DEFENDANT, will, and hereby

9 does, move pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 630, for an order directing entry of a verdict for the

10 STATE WHETHER PLAINTIFF OR DEFENDANT, and against the STATE WHETHER

11
PLAINTIFF OR DEFENDANT on STATE WHETHER ALL ISSUES OR ONLY CERTAIN
12
ISSUES AND DESCRIBE ISSUES SUCH AS WHETHER THE PLAINTIFFS CLAIMS
13
AGAINST DEFENDANT FOR DAMAGES ARE BARRED AS A MATTER OF LAW BY THE
14

15 DOCTRINE OF ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK, ETC.

16 The motion will be made on the grounds that LIST HERE THE LEGAL GROUNDS
17
SUCH AS EXAMPLE ONLY: giving to Plaintiff's evidence all the value to which it is legally
18
entitled, including all reasonable and logical inferences that may be drawn from that evidence, as a
19
matter of law there is no substantial evidence to support a verdict for Plaintiff on any of the claims
20

21 asserted by Plaintiff or on Plaintiff's claim for damages based on Defendant's alleged negligence, and

22 thus such evidence is wholly insufficient to warrant submission of the case to the jury.
23
The motion will be based on this notice of motion, on the declaration of _________________,
24
the attached memorandum of points and authorities, on the records and file in this matter, on such
25
portions of the transcript of the trial and supplemental affidavits or declarations and memoranda that
26

27 may be filed subsequently in this matter, and on such further oral and documentary evidence as may

28 be presented at the hearing of this motion.
