Juan HERNANDEZ del VALLE, Plaintiff, Appellee, v. Jesus SANTA APONTE, etc., Defendant, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided May 10, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Reina Colon de Rodriguez, Asst. Sol. Gen., with whom Hector A. Colon Cruz, Sol. Gen., was on brief, for defendant, appellant.

Alfonso M. Christian with whom Jose Ramon Perez Hernandez, San Juan, P. R., was on brief, for plaintiff, appellee.

Before CAMPBELL, BOWNES and MOORE, Circuit Judges.


LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Circuit Judge.
