   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1635
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Torts. Plaintiff's proffered rebuttal testimony was cumulative and the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to admit it; plaintiff did not preserve his challenge to defendant's verdict director as he did not make a specific objection when the court read the instruction at the instruction conference and did not object when the instruction was read to the jury; since his claim of error was forfeited, plaintiff must show an obvious error in the instruction and he has failed to do so; based on the language in 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1920(2) a party may recover costs of both printed and electronically recorded transcripts of the same deposition as long as each transcript is necessary for use in the case; award of various costs affirmed.
