Submitted May 23, 1997

Filed June 3, 1997

Counsel who presented argument on behalf of the appellant was Irene C. Keyse-Walker of Cleveland, Ohio. Also appearing on the brief was Robert D. Houghton.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.

Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.


The Dalkon Shield Claimants Trust appeals the district court's denial of the Trust's motions for judgment as a matter of law and a new trial. See Waitek v. Dalkon Shield Claimants Trust, 934 F. Supp. 1068, 1100 (N.D. Iowa 1996). We review the district court's rulings under well-established standards. Based on the record before us, we find no error that would require reversal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
