OPINION
FABE, Justice.
I. INTRODUCTION
After becoming a partial paraplegic following treatment for migraine headaches, Charles Taylor sued his doctor, Glenn Ferns, for medical malpractice. 1 The jury found that Ferris was not negligent. Taylor appeals the defense verdict, arguing that the trial court erred by (1) denying his motion to amend the complaint to include a claim for battery based on Ferris’s alleged fraud in obtaining his medical license, (2) denying his motion to reopen discovery, and (3) allowing trial to proceed without an expert advisory panel report. We affirm.
