N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 4401: Motion for judgment during trial

Rule 4401. Motion for judgment during trial. Any party may move for

judgment with respect to a cause of action or issue upon the ground that

the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, after the

close of the evidence presented by an opposing party with respect to

such cause of action or issue, or at any time on the basis of

admissions. Grounds for the motion shall be specified. The motion does

not waive the right to trial by jury or to present further evidence even

where it is made by all parties.
