Latendresse v. Marra

Plaintiff, Albert J. Latendresse, a passenger in the cab of the co-defendant, Checker Taxi Co. Inc., sued for personal injuries sustained in a collision between the cab and an automobile. The trial was held before the court without a jury. Upon the conclusion of the plaintiff’s case, the court entered a finding in favor of co-defendant, Checker Taxi, from which plaintiff now appeals.

We affirm the trial court.
