213390P.pdf   08/02/2022  Shane Boda  v.  Viant Crane Service, LLC
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3390
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Erickson and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Products liability. In an action involving a snapped crane 
   cable, the district court correctly held that the doctrine of res ipsa 
   loquitur did not apply to plaintiff's claim because the crane in question 
   was outside of defendant Viant's control for several days before the 
   accident, creating a possibility of mishandling by the third party who had 
   possession of the crane at the time of the accident.
