This is a medical malpractice action, brought under diversity jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1). At the close of the plaintiffs' case in chief, the district court granted a defense motion for judgment as a matter of law. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 50(a)(1). The plaintiffs appeal, protesting the exclusion of certain expert testimony and the granting of the climactic Rule 50 motion. Discerning no error, we affirm.
