Description
Before: SEITZ, Chief Judge, ALDISERT, ADAMS, GIBBONS, WEIS, GARTH, HIGGINBOTHAM, SLOVITER, and BECKER, Circuit Judges Opinion OF THE COURT Per Curiam. Nicholas Romeo appealed, through his next friend, from a jury verdict for the defendants, officials of the Pennhurst State School and Hospital, in a suit brought pursuant to42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1976). He alleged trial error in the admission and exclusion of the evidence, in the court's instructions to the jury and in the manner in which the trial was conducted. Because of the improper exclusion of relevant expert medical testimony and critical flaws in the standards that were employed in charging the jury, we vacated the judgment of the district court and remanded for a new trial. 644 F.2d 147 (3d Cir. 1980).
