    322 F.

    2d 1020

    Paul EMERSON, Plaintiff-Appellee,


    v.
    ROYAL LUMBER COMPANY, Inc., Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 42.
    Docket 27743.

    United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.


    Argued October 9, 1963.
    Decided October 9, 1963.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of
    New York; Charles M. Metzner, Judge.
    James P. Shannon, New York City (John J. O'Connor and James M.
    Gilleran, New York City, on the brief), for appellant.
    Anthony E. Sacco, New York City (Seymour M. Rowen, New York City,
    on the brief), for appellee.
    Before CLARK, MOORE and KAUFMAN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM.

    We affirm in open court District Judge Metzner's judgment on a jury verdict for
    plaintiff. The questions of contributory negligence and assumption of risk
    raised by the defendant constituted no basis for a directed verdict and the
    judge's charge to the jury was appropriate and free from error.
