NELSON HALL CHEVROLET, INC.,

Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi (4:93-CV-83-LN) _________________________________________________________________

January 12, 1996

Before JOLLY, WIENER, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Defendant-appellant Nelson Hall Chevrolet, Inc. appeals the

district court's judgment in favor of plaintiff-appellee Timothy R.

Wilson. Having reviewed the record and briefs of the parties, we

affirm the district court's entry of judgment in favor of Wilson on

all issues except the award of interest.

* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. The district court erred in awarding, as compensatory damages,

the full amount of interest Wilson paid on the note used to finance

the purchase of the automobile. The jury appears to have

determined that $6,000.00 was the actual value of the automobile at

the time of purchase. Wilson's trade-in allowance was $2,431.09,

which when subtracted from the actual value of the car leaves

$3,568.91 as the amount of the indebtedness on which Wilson was

lawfully obligated to pay interest. Thus, any interest Wilson paid

on that amount is not a component of the damages suffered by Wilson

on account of Nelson Hall's conduct. We therefore REVERSE only

that portion of the judgment constituting the interest on that

amount and REMAND for recalculation of damages based on the

foregoing.

AFFIRMED in part and REVERSED and REMANDED in part.1

1 We dismiss Wilson's motion to supplement the record on appeal as moot.
