District of Columbia v. Mildred R. Stamp
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
District of Columbia v. Mildred R. Stamp, 324 F.2d 406 (D.C. Cir. 1963)
116 U.S. App. D.C. 374
Per Curiam
District of Columbia v. Mildred R. Stamp
Opinion
Plaintiff-appellee fell on an icy sidewalk in downtown Washington, in March of 1960, and was seriously injured. She sued the District of Columbia, and obtained a judgment. On appeal, the District makes no criticism of the instructions given to the jury, but complains chiefly that the evidence was insufficient to establish actual or constructive notice to the District of the existence of a dangerous condition at the location where appellee fell. We disagree. In our view, the evidence was enough to take the ease to the jury, under our decisions in Smith v. District of Columbia, 89 U.S.App.D.C. 7, 189 F.2d 671 (1951), and Campbell v. District of Columbia, 100 U.S.App.D.C. 120, 243 F.2d 226 (1957).
Affirmed.
