Before GUIDRY, KNOLL and KING, JJ.


KNOLL, Judge.

In this slip-fall appeal we address the propriety of plaintiff's counsel referring to an unrelated decision of this court in attempting to discredit a medical expert witness on cross-examination; and, whether the jury's damage award was tainted by references in rebuttal closing argument by plaintiff's counsel to the appellate decision and a damage award made by a jury in a similar, but unrelated case in another division of the same district court.
