Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit April 11, 1983, 81-1326 (Jimmie L. Hart v. Marilyn Sims and Deloy Sims, Husband and Wife James A. Shelton)

GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal from a directed verdict granted by the district court for appellee in a diversity action brought by appellant to establish his title to, and to recover possession of, a painting. The primary question is whether appellant’s agent, who had purchased the painting for him, had a right to resell the painting to appellee.
