Heading: Issue 2: Fault Attributable to FMC Astaris

Text: [¶ 30] Although we reverse based on our resolution of the first issue, we will also consider Mr. Glenn's second issue due to the fact that it is likely to arise again in the new trial. In his second issue, Mr. Glenn contends the district court erred in permitting the jury to consider the fault of two nonparty actors, referring to Astaris and Black Butte. This issue, however, which actually consists of two separate arguments, relates only to Astaris. Contrary to Mr. Glenn's issue statement, he does not argue that the jury should not have been allowed to attribute fault to Black Butte. Rather, he contends that the district court erred by (1) finding that Astaris owed him a duty of care, and (2) refusing to instruct the jury on the law of intervening cause as it relates to Astaris. We will address these issues separately.
