Nos. 86-5872, 86-5910.

830 F.2d 991 (1987)

William S. TANNO, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. S.S. PRESIDENT MADISON VES; American President Lines, Ltd., Defendants-Appellees. William S. TANNO, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. S.S. PRESIDENT MADISON VES; American President Lines, Ltd., Defendants-Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided October 15, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charlotte E. Costan, Burbank, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant/cross-appellee.

Robert D. Feighner, Long Beach, Cal., for defendants-appellees/cross-appellants.

Before HALL, NOONAN and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.

NOONAN, Circuit Judge:

William S. Tanno appeals from a denial of a new trial in a Jones Act (46 U.S.C. § 688) and maritime tort action in which the jury found the defendants negligent but gave smaller damages than Tanno sought. The defendants, S.S. President Madison and American President Lines, Ltd., cross-appeal, seeking different instructions on contributory negligence if a new trial is granted. We affirm the district court.
