[¶ 11] Newbury brought suit against Virgin for illegal eviction and for conversion of Newbury’s property during the course of the illegal eviction. Virgin acted pro se at the trial. Following the close of the evidence, pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 50(a), the trial court granted Newbury’s request for a directed verdict on Virgin’s liability for the illegal eviction. The trial court also stated that although it was going to let the jury consider lost profits and punitive damages claimed by Newbury, it intended to vacate any such awards and direct verdicts in favor of Virgin.
