Myrna R. LOGSDON, mother and Administratrix of the Estate of her son Mark F. Logsdon, Deceased, Individually and as wife of Hugh E. Logsdon, Appellant, v. Joel P. BAKER et al.

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Decided August 7, 1975.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas B. Lawrence, Washington, D. C., for appellant.

Anthony E. Grimaldi, Washington, D. C., for appellees.

Before BASTIAN, and LEVENTHAL and ROBINSON,


PER CURIAM:

Mark Logsdon was killed when his motorcycle collided with a truck owned by the defendants. Plaintiff did not put the truck driver on the stand during the trial, and there were no other eyewitnesses to the accident. Believing that the evidence was insufficient to allow an expert to formulate an opinion as to the causes of the mishap, the district judge rejected plaintiff's proffer of expert testimony, and directed a verdict for defendants.
