¶1*389Julian B. Humphrey, David C. Treen, New Orleans, La., for appellant.
¶2Francis G. Weller, Asst. U. S. Atty., New Orleans, La., M. Hepburn Many, U. S. Atty., New Orleans, La., for appel-lee.
¶3Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, BROWN, Circuit Judge, and CLAYTON, District Judge.
¶5This appeal in a federal tort claims action presents only issues of fact. The record discloses that there was ample evidence to support the finding of the trial court that the appellant Jupiter was guilty of contributory negligence and that such contributory negligence continued to the occurrence of the mishap which produced the injury from which he suffered. See Jupiter v. United States, D.C., 181 F.Supp. 294.
¶6Although the strict application of the contributory negligence doctrine works a hardship on tort claim litigants in Alabama in contrast to other states where the rule of comparative negligence applies, we are bound to apply the law of the pláce of injury in such a case.
¶7The judgment must be affirmed.
