Lead Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether there was sufficient evidence of defendant’s negligence to submit the case to the jury.

A careful consideration of the record convinces us that there was “evidence of such quality and weight that reasonable and fair-minded men in the exercise of impartial judgment might reach different conclusions”.

Shipman, 5 Cir. 1969, 411 F.2d 365" court="5th Cir." date_filed="1969-04-07" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/the-boeing-company-v-daniel-c-shipman-284955?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="284955">411 F.2d 365. The district court therefore properly denied the defendant’s motions for a directed verdict and submitted the case to the jury. The judgment is

Affirmed.
