| Decision Date | 15 February 1905 |
| Docket Number | 1,366. |
| Citation | 135 F. 350 |
| Parties | WEST v. ROBERTS et al. |
| Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Fifth Circuit |
J. D. Wilkinson, for plaintiff in error.
E. H. Randolph, E. W. Sutherlin, W. P. Hall, and A. J. Murff, for defendants in error.
Before PARDEE, McCORMICK, and SHELBY, Circuit Judges.
On the trial in the lower court each party requested the court to instruct the jury to return a verdict in his favor, and thereby each affirmed there was no disputed question of fact which could operate to deflect or control the question of law. See Beuttell v. Magone, 157 U.S. 157, 15 Sup.Ct. 566, 39 L.Ed. 654. The trial judge gave the peremptory instruction in favor of the defendant, and therein followed McDade v. The Bossier Levee Board, 109 La. 627, 33 So. 628, and Hall v. Levee Board, 111 La. 913, 35 So. 976.
The ruling of the trial judge was correct, and the judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
