Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Kevin Mckeever, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, P.J. (9 pages)
Lisa Newell appeals an adverse summary judgment ruling, arguing (1) the district court failed to acknowledge the suit was a claim for state tort liability as opposed to a medical malpractice action against a person, (2) additional discovery should have been allowed before the grant of summary judgment, and (3) the court erred in concluding the claim required expert testimony. OPINION HOLDS: Finding no cause for reversal on the issues properly presented for our review, we affirm the entry of summary judgment.
