Harris v. Potomac Edison Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

For the reasons stated by the District Court we accept its finding that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent when he came in contact with the hot, electric power line. There is an adequate basis in the record for the finding, so that its acceptance is compelled. F.R. Civ.P. Rule 52.

Accordingly, entry of judgment for the defendant was appropriate.

Affirmed.
