Supreme Court of the United States

Argued October 19, 1944.

Decided November 13, 1944.

Supreme Court of the United States · decided 1944-11-13

2 counsel of record

Decided 1944-11-13

¶1Per Curiam:

¶2In this case, certiorari was granted upon a petition which urged that the UtahSupreme Court erred in affirming a judgment for the respondent upon the ground that a verdict could have been directed for respondent *674upon the issues of negligence and contributory negligence. On oral argument and submission, it appears that these contentions are not decisive of the case, since the issues of negligence and contributory negligence were in fact submitted to the jury, and since petitioners’ contentions, made after the granting of certiorari, that the trial court erred in instructing or failing to instruct the jury on these issues, are either insubstantial or not properly raised on the record. The writ of certiorari is therefore dismissed as improvidently granted.

¶3Mr. W. Q. Van Cott, with whom Mr. P. T. Farnsworth, Jr. was on the brief, for petitioners.

¶4Mr. Parnell Black, with whom Messrs. Calvin W. Rawlings and Harold E. Wallace were on the brief, for respondent.
