   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2943
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Smith, Circuit Judge, and Schiltz, District 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Torts. The record did not support the district court's 
   conclusion that plaintiff's medical expert was being paid on a contingent 
   fee arrangement, and the district court clearly erred when it barred 
   plaintiff's medical expert from testifying; fact that the witness might 
   have a financial stake in the outcome of the litigation, through a 
   guarantee or a lien, can be addressed through cross-examination and is not 
   a basis for excluding the testimony.
