United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided December 27, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Graydon G. Stevens, Portland, Me., with whom Kelly, Remmel & Zimmerman, Portland, Me., was on brief, for plaintiff, appellant.

Stephen Hessert, Portland, Me., with whom David C. Norman, James D. Poliquin, and Norman & Hanson, Portland, Me., were on brief, for defendant, appellee.

Before SWYGERT, Senior Circuit Judge, BOWNES and BREYER, Circuit Judges.
