Heading: The Limited Award of Medical Expenses

Text: 32 Ammar's other contentions include his challenge to the district court's refusal to award him medical expenses other than the sum of $3,900 for future psychiatric care. These contentions are without merit. The court's rejection of Ammar's evidence as to other recoverable medical fees was expressly based on its findings that the testimony of Ammar's medical witnesses at trial was not sufficiently credible and that the charges had been inflated for purposes of litigation. (Oct. 30 Tr. at 14 (To a certain extent their credentials, certainly their methodology, and also their motives since both of them have a real financial interest in this case, [are] such that the Court is not prepared to rely on them .... Mr. Ammar's condition does not appear to be as represented by these doctors, at least I don't find adequate medical evidence to support their diagnoses.).) As discussed above, we are not entitled to overturn the trial court's credibility determinations. Hence, there is no basis for reversal. 33 Ammar's remaining contentions similarly lack merit and do not warrant discussion.
