OPINION OF THE COURT

MANSMANN, Circuit Judge.

This matter comes to us on appeal from a final order of the district court for the District of the Virgin Islands limiting a minor's recovery in a medical malpractice action to $250,000. The district court's order also denied consideration of the minor's parents' related claim for loss of services due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
