Case No. 11-cv-07923
Honorable Judge Andrea R. Wood

DEFENDANT PACKER ENGINEERING, INC.’S MOTION FOR JUDGMENT
AS A MATTER OF LAW AS TO PLAINTIFF DANYA DAVIS
Defendant, Packer Engineering, Inc. (“Packer Engineering”), pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 50(a), submits this Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law for the judgment
entered by the Court on August 2, 2017.

For the reasons outlined in its accompanying

memorandum of law, there was no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to
find in favor of Plaintiff Danya Davis. Accordingly, Packer Engineering respectfully requests
that this Court grant its Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law. Judgment should be entered in
favor of Defendant Packer Engineering and against Plaintiff Danya Davis, and the Court should
grant Packer Engineering such other and further relief as it deems just and proper.

PACKER ENGINEERING, INC.
