Description
Plaintiff, a seaman on defendants vessel, the Hibueras, brought this action on the law side of the District Court joining counts for negligence under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C.A. § 688, unseaworthiness, and maintenance and cure. He alleged that one Bozarth, a fellow seaman, struck him with a jacket, the zipper of which hit and injured his eye. The plaintiff also alleged diversity of citizenship. The case was tried before Judge Bondy and a jury which disagreed. Judge Bondy had reserved decision on defendants motion for a directed verdict. He granted it as to the unseaworthiness count, but denied it as to the other two and ordered a new trial on those two counts. The new trial was had before Judge Edward P. Murphy and a jury, and he directed a verdict on both counts. Plaintiff has appealed, challenging the rulings on all three counts.
