A motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict may not be entertained unless a motion for directed verdict was made at the close of all of the evidence, prior to submission of the case to the jury, La Bonne v. First National Bank of Arizona, 75 Ariz. 184 , 254 P.2d 435 (1953); Loya v. Fong, 1 Ariz.App. 482 , 404 P.2d 826 (1965), since it is merely a renewal of the motion for directed verdict and is designed to permit the trial judge, after more mature deliberation, to revise: his ruling in denying the movant’s motion for directed verdict. In Re Schade’s Estate, 87 Ariz. 341 , 351 P.2d 173 (1960); Glowacki v. A. J. Bayless Markets, 76 Ariz. 295 , 263 P.2d 799 (1953). * * *””
