Because the jury found that there was no negligence on the

part of Defendant that was a proximate cause of Gary Long’s

damages, the jury did not reach Interrogatory Number 3 which

would have required the jury to apportion responsibility between

Plaintiff, Defendant and Gary Long.

IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED in accordance with the answers to

the above interrogatories and jury verdict, that Plaintiff take

nothing on its complaint filed herein and the matter is

DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Any requests for costs and/or fees

should be submitted within 14 days.
