   PER CURIAM:

The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether there was sufficient evidence of defendant’s negligence to submit the case to the jury.

A careful consideration of the record convinces us that there was “evidence of such quality and weight that reasonable and fair-minded men in the exercise of impartial judgment might reach different conclusions”. Boeing Company v. Shipman, 5 Cir. 1969, 411 F.2d 365. The district court therefore properly denied the defendant’s motions for a directed verdict and submitted the case to the jury. The judgment is

Affirmed.
