Gladys Claire Bowen v. Michael W. Nelson, M.D.

Syllabus

Plaintiff appeals the trial court's decision to exclude the testimony of her proffered expert for failure to comply with the locality rule. Plaintiff also appeals the grant of summary of judgment based on the exclusion of that expert. Finding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the testimony, we affirm that ruling. Additionally, we affirm the trial court's decision to grant summary judgment as the excluded testimony was the only evidence offered regarding the applicable standard of care.
