Albert Whatley, Cross-Appellee v. Armstrong World Industries, Inc., Raymark Industries, Inc., Cross-Appellant
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

The jury found in Whatley’s favor but he contends the jury’s findings of 90.01% contributory causation by ten settling defendants is without sufficient evidence.
