United States Ninth Circuit

In plaintiffs' suit against manufacturers of dryer felts, claiming that his mesothelioma was caused by occupational exposure to asbestos contained in the dryer felts, district court's judgment in favor of the plaintiffs is vacated and remanded for a new trial where the district court abused its discretion when it failed to conduct a Daubert hearing or otherwise make relevance and reliability determinations regarding expert testimony.
