Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OMI is requesting a new trial, which means starting the trial over again with a new jury, rather than a judgment in accordance with the verdict. A judgment on the pleadings and judgment n.o.v. are types of motions that challenge the sufficiency of the pleadings or evidence, respectively, and would not apply in this situation.
