Stevens v. Ladders

GRAHAM, District Judge.

Plaintiffs-appellants Donnie and Teresa Stevens (“plaintiffs”) appeal the order of the district court in this products liability action, in which the court, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 50(a)(1), granted the motion for judgment as a matter of law of defendants-appellees Keller Ladders, et al. (“Keller”). On appeal, plaintiffs argue that they presented sufficient evidence to overcome Keller’s motion and that the trial court erred in removing the case from the jury’s consideration. For the reasons set forth below, the judgment of the district court is REVERSED.
