A motion to set aside a verdict or to open up a judgment and for a new trial founded upon newly discovered evidence may be heard upon affidavits and the proceedings in the action. Such a motion may be made at any time within one year from the verdict or finding.

When a negative ruling occurs, you may be able to file for a motion to reopen. A motion to reopen asks the court to reexamine the case. To successfully do this, there has to be new evidence that was discovered after the conclusion of the case.
