Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Duane E. Hoffmeyer, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Vogel and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Danilson, C.J. (7 pages)
Susana Rodriguez appeals from an adverse judgment in her personal-injury suit against Cynthia Spenner, contending the trial court erred in instructing the jury and in denying her motion for new trial. OPINION HOLDS: The court did not commit reversible error in instructing the jury as to a preexisting condition because there was factual support for the instruction. Nor did the court abuse its discretion in denying the motion for new trial.
