Opinion

No. 20663.

December 26, 1963.

Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana; Herbert W. Christenberry, Judge.

Harry McCall, Jr., Chaffe, McCall, Phillips, Burke, Toler Hopkins, New Orleans, La., for appellant.

Richard C. Baldwin, New Orleans, La., Morris G. Becnel, Luling, La., Adams Reese, New Orleans, La., for appellee.

Before RIVES and CAMERON, Circuit Judges, and HUNTER, District Judge.


In our opinion the district court correctly refused to direct a verdict for the defendant. In the alternative, the court properly declined to limit the damages recoverable so as to exclude damages for any permanent or future disability. We find no reversible error in any of the court's instructions to the jury. The judgment is

Affirmed.
