SPEARS, District Judge:
This is an appeal by both corporate defendants in a diversity suit from the trial court’s denial of their motions for directed verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The plaintiff had alleged that under the doctrine of respondeat superior the defendants were liable to her for the injuries she suffered when a large truck bearing the name of one of the defendants forced her automobile off the highway. The jury found each of the defendants liable to plaintiff in the amount of $8,630.00. We affirm.
The parties will be referred to as they were in the trial…
