District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided December 16, 1974.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert B. Kolodney, Jr., Washington, D. C., argued the cause for appellant; Ben Paul Noble and Thomas O. Mann, Washington, D. C., were on the brief for appellant.

William D. Appler, Washington, D. C., with whom Lawrence E. Carr, Jr., Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellee. Richard W. Boone, Washington, D. C., also entered an appearance for appellee.

Before REILLY, Chief Judge, and NEBEKER and HARRIS, Associate Judges.


HARRIS, Associate Judge:

This is an appeal from an order granting appellee Safeway Stores' motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict after a jury awarded $15,000 in damages to appellant for injuries she allegedly sustained while a customer in one of appellee's stores. While we are obliged to view the evidence in the light most favorable to appellant, we find that the entry of a judgment notwithstanding the verdict was proper and affirm.
