What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis.
Your task is to determine the specific issue in the case within the broad category of "economic activity and regulation".

Before BIGGS, Chief Judge, and MARIS and GOODRICH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
The appellant contends that the judgment of the court below should be reversed, asserting that no actionable negligence was shown on its part which was the proximate cause of the accident, that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence, that the evidence as to the impaired physical condition of the plaintiff was insufficient, and that the verdict was excessive. Every contention made is fully answered by the opinion of Judge Stewart. See 107 F.Supp. 361. Since we perceive no error, the judgment of the court below will be affirmed.
