   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2731
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Products liability. Plaintiff alleged she was injured by the implantation of defendant's surgical mesh device; the district court excluded plaintiff's expert opinions and testimony under Rule 26(a)(2)(B)(ii) and then granted defendant's motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff appeals. The district court did not err in finding the expert witness's supplemental declaration was untimely under the court's scheduling order, and the court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to consider the supplemental declaration; the court did not err when it decided to exclude the expert witness report and declaration without considering lesser sanctions; in the absence of admissible evidence establishing causation, plaintiff could not establish an essential element of her case, and the district court did not err in granting defendant summary judgment.
