1Opinion of the Court

ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.

This medical-malpractice diversity action, brought by plaintiff Albert Johnson in the United States District Court for the Dis trict of Nebraska, 1 comes to us on appeal from a judgment entered on a jury verdict for the defendants, Drs. C.F. Ashby and J.E. Stitcher. Johnson argues that the District Court abused its discretion and denied his right to a fair trial by imposing in advance of trial a strict time limit on the presentation of evidence. Because Johnson made no timely objection to the District Court’s time limitation, we affirm.
