Newark Insurance Company v. Yvonne Lewis
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided May 13, 1968 · Brown, Dyer, Garza, Per Curiam
394 F.2d 618; 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 6972 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Newark Insurance Company v. Yvonne Lewis

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The controlling issue in this fall-in-the-parking-lot case is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury’s verdict tested by a motion for judgment N.O.V. Since the briefs and oral argument conclusively showed that “there is a rational basis in the record for the jury’s verdict,” Helene Curtis Industries, Inc. v. Pruitt, 5 Cir. 1967, 385 F.2d 841, 850, we directed affirmance from the bench.

Affirmed.
