Synopsis:
Petitioner Philip J.

The district court here held that because the expert witness reviewed and considered the data when she performed the study, and because she relied in part on the study in forming her opinions in the instant case, she “considered” the underlying data and research documents in forming her opinions in this case and thus the expert witness could not testify unless she provided the underlying research data to the plaintiff.
