Dorothy Williams v. Donald C. Howard

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit · Decided April 27, 1961 · Miller, Edgerton, Washington

289 F.2d 901; 110 U.S. App. D.C. 160; 1961 U.S. App. LEXIS 4691 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Counsel

Mr. Irving Turner, Washington, D. C., for appellant., Mr. Richard W. Barton, Asst. Corporation Counsel for the District of Columbia, with whom Messrs. Chester H. Gray, Corporation Counsel, Milton D. Korman, Principal Asst. Corporation Counsel, and Hubert B. Pair, Asst. Corporation Counsel, were on the brief, for appellee.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a judgment for the defendant in a personal injury suit, after a directed verdict at the close of plaintiff’s case. Defendant was the driver of a District of Columbia fire engine which — while on the way to a fire — collided with the car in which plaintiff was a passenger. We think the evidence did not raise an issue of negligence sufficient to go to the jury.

Affirmed.
