Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit February 7, 1996, 95-1734 (Katherine E. Griman, Administratrix of the Estate of Frank J. Griman, Deceased v. Florence Makousky and Lois Weaver)

POSNER, Chief Judge.

The plaintiff brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Indiana’s wrongful-death statute. She received a small judgment under the latter statute but her principal claim, the 1983 claim, was dismissed because the judge would not let her introduce in evidence the deposition of a crucial witness, and she appeals.
