    PER CURIAM
   PER CURIAM

In this personal injury action, defendant pleaded a "compromise and satisfaction.” The jury found for plaintiff by special verdict, including a finding that there had been no settlement. It was error to grant defendant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, because there was evidence in the record to support the verdict. Jacobs v. Tidewater Barge Lines, 277 Or 809, 562 P2d 545 (1977).

Reversed and remanded with instructions to enter judgment for plaintiff on the verdict.
