Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit April 22, 1971, 30831_1 (L. Glen Riley v. Ford Motor Company)

ALDISERT, Circuit Judge:

A jury awarded the purchaser of a 1969 Lincoln Mark III automobile $30,-000 in damages against Ford Motor Company for breach of warranty and negligent repair of certain defects. Appellant Ford insists that the district court erred in withdrawing from the jury the question whether the dealer acted as its agent, and argues that the damages were excessive as a matter of law.
