Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court granted the Appellees' motions for summary judgment and denied the McCalls' motion for partial summary judgment.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: The McCalls assign that the district court erred in: (1) finding that there was no genuine issue of material fact as to whether Dr. Robertson met the standard of care; (2) granting summary judgment against them on their claims for emotional distress; (3) finding that Neb. Rev. Stat. ' 71-20,121 does not create a duty on a delivery physician and a hospital to advise parents of their rights regarding a stillborn baby; and (4) finding the hospital's failure to follow ' 71-20,121 was not evidence of negligence.
