Heading: the court of appeals' order directing entry of judgment for case

Text: Plaintiffs' second assertion of error is that, even assuming the trial court erred by allowing Pfeiffer to testify that the heat build-up under oil soaked chaff caused the fire, the Court of Appeals should have found they had a submissible products liability case without that particular opinion and, thus, should have directed a new trial rather than judgment as a matter of law. Due to our determination that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by allowing Pfeiffer to present his expert opinion on the cause of the combine fire, it is not necessary for us to fully address this assertion. We affirm the trial court and reverse the Court of Appeals' directive to remand the matter with directions to enter judgment as a matter of law in favor of Case.
