a denture cream that caused Plaintiffs to develop a condition known as copper 

deficiency myelopathy.

In 2015, the district court issued an order granting Defendants’ Daubert1

motion to exclude all or part of the testimony of Plaintiffs’ general causation expert 

witnesses. The parties stipulated that this order was case-dispositive, meaning that 

without the ability to prove general causation, Plaintiffs could not prevail. Given 

that stipulation, the district court issued orders dismissing the Plaintiffs’ cases with 

prejudice. In its orders of dismissal, the court referenced the 2015 Daubert order, 

as well as a 2013 order precluding testimony by any treating physicians of 

Plaintiffs who had not produced Rule 26(a)(2)(B) reports. 

Plaintiffs now appeal these orders of dismissal and, more particularly, the 

Daubert and Rule 26(a)(2)(B) orders identified above. After carefully reviewing 

the parties’ briefs and the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no 

reversible error in either of the district court’s orders.

AFFIRMED.
