Before WIENER and PRADO, Circuit Judges, and KINKEADE, District Judge.

PRADO, Circuit Judge:

The above numbered and styled appeals arose from the trial of a personal injury lawsuit in which the district court entered judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) against the plaintiff-appellant before he had completed the presentation of his case. After considering the plaintiff-appellant's arguments, this court reverses the district court's judgment and remands the case for further proceedings.
