1Opinion of the Court
GRIFFIS, P.J., FOR THE COURT:
¶ 1. Debra Darlene Burns and her husband William Dale Burns filed a complaint against their landlords, Matthew and Jody Gray, and alleged injuries related to a fall they claim was "as a result of the irregular pattern of the basement stairs." The circuit court found the Burnses' expert witness's testimony and opinions regarding causation were based on speculation and, therefore, struck his testimony and entered summary judgment in favor of the Grays. The Burnses timely appealed. We find no error and affirm.
