______________________
       *Honorable Wm. Terrell Hodges, United States District Judge for the Middle District of
Florida, sitting by designation
PER CURIAM:

      Appellants Deere & Company and John Deere Construction Equipment

(collectively “Deere”) appeal, in this products liability action, the entry of

judgment entered on the jury’s verdict in favor of Appellee Javier Villegas

(“Villegas”) and the district court’s denial of Deere’s motions for new trial and

judgment as a matter of law.

      After reviewing the record, reading the parties’ briefs, and having the

benefit of oral argument, we affirm the judgment in this case in favor of Villegas

and against Deere & Company.

      AFFIRMED.

                                           2
