Alma Little v. Donald Littlefield and Baker Littlefield
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
TUTTLE, Chief Judge.
This is an appeal from an order granting a judgment notwithstanding a ver*886diet. The appeal, of course, presents the question whether there was such an issue of fact as to require its submission to the jury. This issue related to the part which Alma Little, the owner of the automobile in question, played in the transaction and is to be resolved by answering the question whether the proved negligence of Wilmer Little, the driver of the automobile, is to be imputed to Alma either under the doctrine of agency or under the theory of joint enterprise under the Texas law.
