George H. BEASON, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. BROCK AND BLEVINS, INC., Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 73-3803
    Summary Calendar.
    
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    May 24, 1974.
    Charles E. Sharp, Birmingham, Ala., for defendant-appellant.
    George C. Longshore, Birmingham, Ala., for plaintiff-appellee.
    Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and THORNBERRY and AINSWORTH, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      Rule 18, 5th Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of N. Y. et al., 5th Cir. 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
    
   PER CURIAM:

We find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in permitting counsel for plaintiff to make a “unit of time” argument in the final portion of his closing argument. All of the protective features required by Baron Tube Co. v. Transport Insurance Co., 5 Cir., 1966, 365 F. 2d 858 (en banc), were employed.

Affirmed.
