073108P.pdf   06/24/2008  Betty Black  v.  Ryan K. Shultz
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3108
   District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with John R. Gibson and Melloy,
   Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Malpractice. Plaintiff's violation of the court's order in limine was not prejudicial and did not deny defendant a fair trial as there was but a single, inadvertent mention of the barred information and the district court immediately gave a curative instruction; district court did not err in instructing the jury to consider defendant's negligent misrepresentations separately from the merits of plaintiff's sexual harassment action as the malpractice claim did not arise solely from defendant's failure to file or prosecute plaintiff's underlying sexual harassment case against her former employer; there were several other instances of defendant's failure to give plaintiff competent legal advice, and plaintiff did not need a meritorious underlying case in order to have a claim for these breaches.
