Ray Lindsay v. Gibbons and Reed

Plaintiff initiated this action, as administrator of his wifes estate for her wrongful death, and on behalf of himself for personal injuries and property damage sustained in a motor vehicle collision. Defendant moved for a directed verdict at the close of the evidence offered by plaintiff, Rule 50(a), U.R.C.P.; the trial court granted the motion, rendered judgment for the defendant, and discharged the jury. The trial court subsequently denied plaintiffs motion to amend the judgment or for a new trial; plaintiff appeals.
