   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1702
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - torts. Absence of signed medical forms did not prove battery as Minnesota courts have not restricted a defendant's methods of proving consent in a battery action to a signed form; because plaintiff did not file a motion for judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50(a), there was no basis for the court to review his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence.
