193637P.pdf   07/20/2021  Jeffrey McMahon  v.  Robert Bosch Tool Corp.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3637
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Products liability. In action alleging the auxiliary handle on defendant's hand-held spiral saw was defectively designed, the district court did not abuse its discretion by barring the testimony of plaintiff's expert witness on the saw's alleged design defects as the testimony lacked relevance because it did not fit the facts of the case; plaintiff did not meaningfully argue in his brief his claim that the saw was defective for not having an interlocking safety measure, and points not meaningfully argued are waived; even if the issue was not waived, the district court did not err in concluding the expert's testimony on alternative-design options was not reliable and should not be admitted; the district court did not err in granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiff's claims of strict liability, negligent design, negligent failure to warn and negligent supply of a dangerous instrumentality.
