Mischelle Musser and Michael Musser v. Gentiva Health Services, F/k/a Olsten Health Services
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided February 19, 2004No. 03-1312PublishedCited by 293 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs Mischelle and Michael Musser, parents of the deceased Maverick Musser, appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendant, Gentiva Health Services, in this medical malpractice case. Because the expert medical testimony proffered by the Mus-sers in response to the motion for summary judgment was properly excluded as a sanction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(c)(1), and because under Indiana law a prima facie case in medical malpractice cannot be established without expert medical testimony, we affirm.
