   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3902
                          and No:  05-3904
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Torts. District court did not abuse its discretion in determining plaintiff's expert's opinion that the Nissan Pathfinder involved in the accident is unsafe at highway speed on dry pavement was inadmissible as the testimony did not meet the reliability requirements of Rule 702; the court was also within its discretion in excluding the expert's opinions about the need for warnings about the allegedly dangerous condition as there is no duty to warn when there is insufficient evidence to show the product is defective.
