McCORMICK SHIPPING CORPORATION v. STRATT

No. 20208.

322 F.2d 648 (1963)

McCORMICK SHIPPING CORPORATION, Appellant, v. Helen STRATT, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

September 24, 1963.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Cotton Howell, Shutts, Bowen, Simmons, Prevatt & Boureau, Miami, Fla., for appellant.

Monte K. Rassner, Miami, Fla., for appellee.

Before CAMERON and WISDOM, Circuit Judges, and DeVANE, District Judge.


PER CURIAM.

Appellee Mrs. Stratt was injured while a passenger on appellant McCormick's ship. A small closet door swung open and, at the same time, she fell against the edge of the door, sustaining injury to her head. The case was tried by the court without a jury and a judgment for appellee was rendered on the libel. A reading of the record convinces us that the evidence was ample to sustain the charges of negligence and the fact of a substantial injury.
