¶1 This is an appeal of a judgment which adjudicated David Murray a sexually violent predator and committed him to the Florida Civil Commitment Center pursuant to the Jimmy Ryce Act. See §§ 394.910-.931, Fla. Stat. (2005). The question is whether the evidence was legally sufficient to support the adjudication.
¶2 First, the point was not properly preserved for appellate review. The defense *782 made timely motions for a directed verdict. However, Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.480(b) has been interpreted as requiring a party to file, in addition, a post-verdict motion for entry of judgment in accordance with the motion for a directed verdict. Fulton County Adm’r v. Sullivan, 753 So.2d 549, 558-54 (Fla.1999); Brown v. State, 940 So.2d 609, 610 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006); Industrial Affiliates, Ltd. v. Testa, 770 So.2d 202, 203-04 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000). In this case no such post verdict motion was filed.
¶3 Second, assuming for purposes of discussion that the point was properly preserved, we conclude that the case was properly submitted to the jury to resolve the conflicting expert testimony regarding whether the defendant qualified under the Act. See State v. Shaw, 929 So.2d 1145 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006); Galloway v. State, 900 So.2d 652 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005). See generally Westerheide v. State, 831 So.2d 93 (Fla.2002).
¶4 Affirmed.
