Description

The Pinedas filed this action against the United States for medical malpractice under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. 1346(b). After a trial, the court found that the evidence did not support the claim that the monitor attached to the Pinedas infant son, Jeshua, indicated numerous high heart alarms in the hours before Jeshua suffered a cardiac arrest that led to permanent brain damage. At issue on appeal is: (1) whether the district court erred by reversing the Magistrate Judges decision to compel the production of certain witness statements; (2) whether the district court properly denied a post-trial motion to consider new evidence; and (3) whether there was substantial evidence to support the district courts Conclusion that no medical malpractice occurred. Because we reverse on the third issue, we do not reach the first or second issues.
