Supreme Court of the United States, 1964

Meeks v. Georgia Southern & Florida Railway Co.

Supreme Court of the United States · Decided June 1, 1964 · Harlan, Stewart

377 U.S. 405; 84 S. Ct. 1628; 12 L. Ed. 2d 495; 1964 U.S. LEXIS 1144 (United States Reports)

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The petitions for writs of certiorari are granted and the judgments are reversed. Rogers v. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 352 U. S. 500.

Concurring in Part

Mr. Justice Harlan, whom Mr. Justice Stewart joins,

dissenting in No. 981, and dissenting in part and concurring in part in No. 1004.

These are two more negligence cases, neither of which should have been brought here since both involve only-questions of the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury verdicts. See, e. g., my dissenting opinion in Dennis v. Denver & Rio Grande W. R. Co., 375 U. S. 208, 212, and *538those in the cases therein cited; cf. my dissenting opinion in Eichel v. New York Central R. Co., 375 U. S. 253, 256.

Feeling obliged, however, to reach the merits because the cases are before us, see my opinion in Rogers v. Missouri P. R. Co., 352 U. S. 500, 559-562, I dissent from the judgment in No. 981 and concur in the judgment in No. 1004.
