U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1284
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Medical malpractice. Assuming that it was error to deny
the striking of a juror, the error was harmless as nothing suggests the
juror was removable for cause or unqualified for service; since the jury
which was seated was qualified and impartial, no constitutional violation
occurred; district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the use of
an interpreter for one of plaintiff's witnesses as her answers were
responsive and demonstrated adequate comprehension of English.
