MR. JUSTICE ADAIR:
I dissent.
It is almost four years since Frances Shillingstad suffered most painful and serious injuries by having her automobile struck from behind by a “hit and run driver”. After numerous delays and a hard fought jury trial she was awarded $15,555 judgment.
The record shows that the trial was well conducted by the District Judge, and I find therein no such prejudicial error as warrants the setting aside of the jury verdict and the ordering of a new trial of the action. In my opinion, Frances Shillingstad will be fortunate indeed if she can survive until another jury and another district judge has the opportunity to pass judgment in her action.
I would affirm the judgment which has already been rendered on the jury’s verdict, and I reserve the right to file a further dissenting opinion herein.
