L. C. Fuller, Jr., Lumber Co. v. Anglin, 244 F.2d 72 (6th Cir. 1957)

1957 U.S. App. LEXIS 3052

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

.These consolidated appeals grow out of a head-on collision between a trailer truck and a hearse, which occurred in Indiana in 1954. Trial was had jn the Middle District of Tennessee, the resi-denee of appellees, resulting in verdicts 'in their favor against the appeJlant truck owner, a corporation domiciled in Ala'bama/

The appellant complains of the district court’s -failure to grant its. motion to transfer the actions to the Southern District of Indiana in accordance with 28 U.S.C.A. § 1404(a), and of several alleged errors committed by the court before and during the trial.

The question of whether to transfer the actions to Indiana was one entrusted ,to the district court’s discretion, of which *73there was no abuse under the circumstances disclosed by the record. After careful examination of the other matters raised by able counsel for the appellant, we are unable to conclude that either alone or in combination any of them constituted prejudicial error affecting substantial rights.

The judgments of the district court are accordingly affirmed.
