Hicks v. De Bardeleben Coal Corp.
Opinion of the Court
Suing at law, under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C.A. § 688, plaintiff sought damages for personal injuries and a recovery for maintenance and cure. Tried to a jury, there was a verdict against him on his claim for damages and a verdict in his favor for $1500 for maintenance and cure.
Despite the fact that he neither made a motion for a directed verdict nor filed a motion for new trial below, appellant is here asking this court to try the case de
Appellee has cross appealed, asking that the judgment of the trial court be reversed and a judgment entered in its favor, dismissing appellant’s demand for maintenance and cure.
In no doubt that plaintiff’s appeal presents nothing of substance for our consideration here and that appellee’s request for a reversal, on its appeal, of the judgment for maintenance and cure, must be denied, we order the judgment
Affirmed.
