Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Grundy County, The Honorable Kellyann M. Lekar, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Badding, J.  (3 pages)

            Scafferi Enterprises, LLC appeals from a jury verdict in favor of Justin Wise, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence showing Scafferi was obligated to complete the reconstruction of Wise’s fire-damaged home.  OPINION HOLDS: Our review in this case is for correction of errors at law.  Because Scafferi never moved for a directed verdict, it failed to preserve any claim of legal error related to the sufficiency of the evidence.  Accordingly, we decline to consider this appeal.
