Killian v. Frontier Airlines
Citation | 150 F. Supp. 17 |
Decision Date | 08 April 1957 |
Docket Number | Civ. No. 4034. |
Parties | Jim KILLIAN, Plaintiff, v. FRONTIER AIRLINES, Inc., Defendant. |
Court | U.S. District Court — District of Wyoming |
F. K. Dukes, Laramie, Wyo., for plaintiff.
O'Mahoney & Gorrell, Worland, Wyo., for defendant.
Plaintiff brings this action for the recovery of money judgment in the sum of $88.30. The action was originally filed in the Justice of the Peace Court of Albany County, Wyoming, and removed to this court since the subject of the controversy involved is interstate shipment of air freight, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1337.
The parties will be referred to as they appear in the pleadings.
The facts are not controverted and the matter is submitted to the court upon a stipulation of the facts. I quote from the stipulation, as follows:
Defendant takes the position that, as a matter of law, it is not liable to plaintiff though admitting all the facts alleged in plaintiff's complaint as true.
The matter involves an interstate air freight shipment of flowers from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Laramie, Wyoming, and being a suit arising under a law regulating commerce is within the jurisdiction of this court irrespective of the amount involved. Peyton v. Railway Express Agency, 316 U.S. 350, 62 S.Ct. 1171, 86 L.Ed. 1525.
Reference should be made to Air Freight Rules Tariffs applicable to this case, reading:
