United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

March 13, 2012.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Kirkland Sammons (argued), John Gus Zgourides, Sr. Trial Atty., Sammons & Berry, P.C., Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Harry Alston Johnson, III (argued), Phelps Dunbar, L.L.P., Baton Rouge, LA, William David George , Mainess Gibson , Connelly, Baker, Wotring, L.L.P., Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before DENNIS, OWEN and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

LESLIE H. SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judge:

For nearly 40 years, Harold Huffman worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. He claims that injuries to his knee, diagnosed after his retirement, were partly the result of the railroad's negligence. A jury found such a connection and awarded damages. We conclude that no evidence was introduced to connect the worker's specific condition to the work that he performed. We therefore REVERSE and REMAND for entry of judgment.
