Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): an issue, the federal court must predict how the state’s highest court would resolve the issue by “relying on guidance from analogous decisions in other states and other legal authorities.” Stratford Sch. Dist., S.A.U. Dist. No. 58 v. Emp’rs Reins. Corp., 162 F.3d 718, 720 (1st Cir.1998). There is a split of authority in other jurisdictions as to whether a hospital can be liable for breach of warranty when it supplies a defective medical device to a patient in the course of providing medical services and treatment. 35 Mass. Practice § 6:14 (2d ed. 2009). A number of federal courts have held that a hospital cannot be subject to strict liability because it is not a seller or distributor of medical devices. See, e.g., Vergott v. Deseret Pharm. Co., 463 F.2d 12, 16 n. 5 (5th Cir.1972) (<HOLDING>); Roell v. Stryker, No. 3:06-cv-443, 2007 WL
