Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Michael K. Jacobsen and Brad McCall, Judges. AFFIRMED. Heard at oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (21 pages)
A husband and wife appeal summary judgment rulings, raise claims concerning evidentiary rulings, and allege the district court erred in declining to submit the issue of punitive damages to the jury. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude the challenged summary judgment orders were appropriate and determine the district court did not abuse its discretion in its evidentiary rulings. The district court committed no legal error in its directed verdict on punitive damages. Accordingly, we affirm.
