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.
