Heading: Plaintiffs' Appeal as to Pre-Judgment Interest.

Text: 56 We reverse both the granting of judgment n.o.v. and the conditional granting of a new trial, thus reinstating the jury's verdict in favor of defendants and setting aside the judgment entered upon the second jury's determination of damages; the question of pre-judgment interest is moot. Cf. Mertens v. Flying Tiger Line, Inc., 341 F.2d 851, 858 (2d Cir. 1965), petition for cert. filed, 33 U.S.L.Week 3376 (U.S. May 14, 1965) (No. 1168, 1964 Term; renumbered No. 142, 1965 Term). Consequently, we dismiss plaintiffs' appeal from Judge McLean's order denying interest. 57 Judgment reversed with instructions to enter judgment upon the jury's verdict in favor of defendants. Plaintiffs' appeal from the order denying pre-judgment interest is dismissed.
