Opinion
No. 11265.
Argued June 22, 1967.
Decided July 18, 1967.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk; Walter E. Hoffman, Judge.
Calvin W. Breit, Norfolk, Va. (Amato, Babalas, Breit, Cohen, Rutter Friedman, Norfolk, Va., on brief), for appellant.
R.M. Hughes, III, Norfolk, Va. (Seawell, McCoy, Winston Dalton, Norfolk, Va., on brief), for appellee.
Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, and BRYAN and CRAVEN, Circuit Judges.
We think the District Court was well within its discretionary authority in refusing to set aside the verdict of the jury on the ground of inadequacy. The amount of the verdict was small, but within the range permitted by the testimony.
Affirmed.
