What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

HOLMES, Circuit Judge.
This appeal is from a judgment entered upon a jury verdict awarding damages against the appellant in a suit under an insurance policy issued by it.
This is the second appearance of this case here. ' In our former opinion, 133 F.2d 583, we held that the evidence adduced upon the first trial made out a case for determination by the jury. *A careful examination of all the evidence at the second trial discloses that the proof upon the issue of liability is substantially identical with that on the prior trial, except that appellee bolstered its case by a further showing that it was not negligent in failing to prevent the explosive vapors from reaching the boilers. Therefore we hold, for the reasons assigned in the former opinion, that the respective motions of the appellant for a directed verdict were properly overruled.
The record further discloses that there was substantial evidence to justify the damages found by the jury, and the procedural errors assigned are without merit.
The judgment appealed from is affirmed.
