ROBERT L. HOECKER 

Clerk 

Nos. 89-3300 

& 

89-3305 

(D.C. No. 87-2579-0) 

(D. Kan.)

trial, and a jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs. This 

matter is now before the court on appeal and cross-appeal from a 

post-judgment order of the district court which denied plaintiffs' 

motion for prejudgment interest and defendant's motion for 

judgment n.o.v. or, in the alternative, a new trial. We have 

reviewed the record on appeal and the parties' appellate briefs, 

and we concur in the district court's determinations. 

Accordingly, the judgment of the United States District Court 

for the District of Kansas is AFFIRMED for substantially the 

reasons set forth in its order entered on October 11, 1989.
