        "text": "JUSTICE ALLOY\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThe plaintiff, Leslie H. Allott Plumbing and Heating, Inc., filed a complaint against the defendant, Owens-Corning Fiberglas', a corporation, seeking money damages based on an alleged breach of contract. Following a jury trial, judgment was entered for the defendant and against the plaintiff.\nThe plaintiff, who failed to file a post-trial motion, brought this appeal seeking a reversal of the lower court\u2019s judgment on the grounds that the jury\u2019s verdict was not supported by the manifest weight of the evidence.\nSection 2 \u2014 1202(b) of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure, formerly section 68.1 of the Civil Practice Act, requires that requests for a new trial must be sought in a single post-trial motion. The post-trial motion must state the points relied upon and the relief desired. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 110, par. 2 \u2014 1202(b), formerly Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 110, par. 68.1.) Supreme Court Rule 366(b)(2)(iii) limits the scope of review in civil jury cases to the points, grounds and relief specified in the post-trial motion. 87 Ill. 2d R. 366(b)(2)(iii).\nThe plaintiff\u2019s failure to file a post-trial motion has resulted in a waiver of the issue it now seeks to raise on appeal. Before we can be asked to assess the propriety of the jury\u2019s verdict, the trial judge, who is most familiar with the evidence and the -witnesses, must be given an opportunity to review his ruling and decide if a new trial or a judgment notwithstanding the verdict is appropriate. (Brown v. Decatur Memorial Hospital (1980), 83 Ill. 2d 344, 415 N.E.2d 337.) The plaintiff\u2019s failure to file a post-trial motion has denied the trial judge the opportunity to reassess his decision.\nFor the foregoing reasons, this appeal is dismissed.\nAppeal dismissed.\nSCOTT and HEIPLE, JJ., concur.",
