Opinion
No. 73-3803. Summary Calendar.
Rule 18, 5th Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of N.Y. et al., 5th Cir. 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
May 24, 1974.
Charles E. Sharp, Birmingham, Ala., for defendant-appellant.
George C. Longshore, Birmingham, Ala., for plaintiff-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and THORNBERRY and AINSWORTH, Circuit Judges.
We find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in permitting counsel for plaintiff to make a "unit of time" argument in the final portion of his closing argument. All of the protective features required by Baron Tube Co. v. Transport Insurance Co., 5 Cir., 1966, 365 F.2d 858 (en banc), were employed.
Affirmed.
