JUSTICE TRIEWEILER
specially concurring.
I concur that based on the facts in this case, the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur was inapplicable and that based on lack of proof that the defendant was negligent, the District Court properly granted summary judgment.
I don’t agree that professional negligence may not under other circumstances be established by the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur and without expert testimony.
I also agree that the District Court did not abuse its discretion when it denied the estate’s motions under Rules 60(b)(2) and 59(g), M.R.Civ.P., and therefore concur with the result of the majority opinion.
