U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1313
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Contracts. The district court did not err in denying
defendant Greater Omaha's motion to exclude plaintiff's expert witness
testimony regarding the source of an E. coli outbreak; the district court
did not abuse its discretion by admitting a Food Safety Inspection Service
Notice of Intended Enforcement concerning defendant's failure to meet
sanitation standards as it covered the relevant time period and its
probative value outweighed any prejudice to defendant; challenges to jury
instructions on contracts and warranties rejected; defendant's argument
that the jury reached an improper compromise verdict rejected; no error in
granting plaintiff summary judgment on defendant's counterclaim for
tortious interference based on a claim plaintiff provided information for
a New York Times article as the claim was not supported by any admissible
evidence.
