R.Civ.P. 227.1 shall be filed within ten days after nonsuit or verdict or disagreement of the jury.(b) All post-trial motions must be written and the movant and respondent of each post-trial motion shall serve copies of each document which they file with reference to any such motion upon the trial judge and all other parties. Such service shall be made prior to or immediately after the time the document is filed in the office of the Clerk of Judicial Records. (c) All motions of the type set forth in paragraph (a) above shall contain specific references to the alleged errors which form the basis of the motion. A post-trial motion will be dismissed as of course as dilatory and in needless expense to the county and to the litigants if the reason set forth are mere conclusions, are captious, or are not supported by the record.(d) Whenever a post-trial motion is based upon matters not appearing of record, it shall be made in the form of a petition for rule to show cause and shall be supported by affidavits or depositions upon argument thereof.(e) A motion for a new trial on the ground of after-discovered evidence must be made on petition, verified by affidavit, setting forth the names of the witnesses or sources of evidence which have been discovered, a reasonable expectation as to what is to be proved by such evidence, and an assertion that the movant did not know of the evidence before or during the trial. In the event that the rule to show cause is granted, all of the foregoing matters shall be established by deposition or by testimony presented in court at the time that the motion is considered.(f) Unless for good cause shown the court orders otherwise, post-trial motions may be decided without the transcript of testimony having been prepared.(g) Where it is determined that a transcript or portion thereof is necessary, counsel shall have as a matter of right ten additional days to submit additional allegations of error following receipt of the transcript.Amended effective November 2014.
