PLEASANTS v. LOCKE

No. 89-7270.

924 F.2d 1144 (1991)

Graydon O. PLEASANTS, Appellant, v. James D. LOCKE, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Decided February 15, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Barmak, with whom Douglas E. Fierberg, Washington, D.C., was on the brief, for appellant.

William James Murphy, Washington, D.C., for appellee.

Before MIKVA, Chief Judge, WILLIAMS and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

Opinion for the Court filed by Chief Judge MIKVA.

MIKVA, Chief Judge:

This appeal raises interesting questions about the common law right of contribution and how to evaluate a joint debtor's claim that he paid more than his pro rata share where the transaction involved an exchange of two intangibles not subject to easy valuation. We affirm the district court's resolution of these questions on the facts before us.
