For reasons set out below, both of Rodriguez' arguments ar

Katherine Morgan, as wrongful death representative of her deceased husband
David Morgan, appeals the district court’s grant of judgment as matter of law
(“JMOL”) in favor of Baker Hughes Incorporated, issued after trial but before the

The Saunders Group L.L.C. (Saunders) raises two issues on appeal: (1) whether the district court erred in dismissing Saunders' petition, and (2) whether the district court erred in assessing a $250 fine to Saunders' attorney. We affirm the district court based on Saunders' utter abandonment of these claims of error on appeal.
