ALBERTI v. AUTOMOBILE SHIPPERS, Inc.
    Civ. No. 25885.
    United States District Court N. D. Ohio, E. D.
    July 27, 1949.
    
      M. W. Kosach, Youngstown, Ohio, G. F. • Hammond, Youngstown, Ohio, for plaintiff.
    Davis & Young, Rees H. Davis, Cleveland, Ohio, for defendant.
   JONES, Chief Judge.

This is a complaint for negligence wherein plaintiff allegedly suffered personal injuries as a result of a traffic accident.

Plaintiff neglected to demand a trial by jury within the time limit provided by Rule 38(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A., and now moves that the Court order a trial by jury under the provisions of Rule 39(b). A stipulation has been filed whereby defendant waives any objections to the trial of the case by a jury.

Although counsel offer no explanation for their failure to demand a jury trial within the time provided by Rule 38, the facts that the defendant does not object and that this is a personal injury case and therefore “peculiarly one to be decided by a jury”, S. S. Kresge Co. v. Holland, 6 Cir., 158 F.2d 495, 497, the motion will be granted.
