Ekornes-Duncan v. Rankin Medical Center2/28/2002
ry verdict; and Johnson v. State, 252 So.2d 221 (Miss. 1971) (upholding ten minute jury verdict). We have held that " here is no yardstick of time which a jury should use before reaching a verdict." Johnson, 252 So.2d at 224. Also, we have developed "no formula" for calculating the length jury deliberations should last. Smith, 569 So.2d at 1204. For these reasons, we find no error.
CONCLUSION
. We find that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in striking the designation of experts and the expert affidavits which led to summary judgment. Further, we find no reversible error and no prejudice in the trial against Dr. Chouteau for medical negligence and against RMC for vicarious liability for Dr. Chouteau. Thus, we affirm the summary judgment in favor of RMC for independent nursing negligence and affirm the judgment entered on the jury verdict in favor of Dr. Chouteau and RMC.
. AFFIRMED.
