Opinion
No. 3525.
February 8, 1940.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of New Hampshire; George F. Morris, Judge.
Action by Bernard Nugent against Albert K. Proel for personal injuries. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals.
Affirmed.
Robert W. Upton, of Concord, N.H. (Emory C. Mower, of Burlington, Vt., and Neil Tolman, of Nashua, N.H., on the brief), for appellant.
Carl C. Jones, of Concord, N.H. (James B. Godfrey and Demond, Sulloway, Piper Jones, all of Concord, N.H., on the brief), for appellee.
Before MAGRUDER, Circuit Judge, and MAHONEY and PETERS, District Judges.
This is a suit for personal injuries. When the case was here before, we reversed a judgment for the plaintiff because on the evidence as we viewed it a verdict for the defendant should have been directed. Proel v. Nugent, 1 Cir., 1938, 97 F.2d 353. Upon retrial of the case, the trial judge concluded that the evidence did not to any considerable extent vary from that presented before, and hence directed a verdict for the defendant in accordance with our previous opinion. We agree with this disposition of the case.
The judgment of the District Court is affirmed with costs to the appellee.
