Opinion by Judge BEEZER.
BEEZER, Circuit Judge:
Raymond Jenkins sued defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company under the Federal Employer’s Liability Act, 45 U.S.C. § 51 et seq. (FELA) for injuries he sustained during his employment. The jury determined Jenkins was 65% responsible for his own injuries. The damage award of $800,000 was reduced by 65% to $280,000. Jenkins appeals, arguing that the district court erroneously instructed the jury on contributory negligence and erroneously denied his motion to amend the complaint to conform to the proof adduced at trial. We reverse and remand.
