Rule 29. Motion for a Judgment of Acquittal
A “Rule 29 Motion,” based on Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29, is typically made twice during a federal trial – first, at the close of the Government's case, and again at the close of the entire case. These motions allow the judge to dismiss the case as a matter of law.
