Joseph Repan v. American President Lines, Ltd.
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided April 30, 1957No. 24281_1PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Per curiam
This action, brought under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C.A. § 688, was tried to the court which found on oral testimony that the accidental dropping of the gas tank which caused plaintiff’s injury was not caused by the defendant’s negligence. In view of the state of the evidence, we cannot say the finding was clearly erroneous. United States v. Yellow Cab Co., 338 U.S. 338, 70 S.Ct. 177, 94 L.Ed. 150; Lee Dong Sep v. Dulles, 2 Cir., 220 F.2d 264; and Hedger v. Reynolds, 2 Cir., 216 F.2d 202. If the appeal were properly before us, we would affirm on the merits.
However, we are constrained to notice…
