Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David May, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vogel, C.J., Vaitheswaran, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, J. (5 pages)
Kent Welsh appeals from an adverse jury verdict in his civil suit against the defendants, claiming the district court abused its discretion in (1) disallowing a telephone deposition; (2) excluding evidence of Lithia’s rating with the Better Business Bureau; and (3) excluding evidence of reviews and complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. OPINION HOLDS: We discern no abuse of discretion in the court’s rulings. We affirm the jury verdict and the judgment in favor of the defendants.
