Edith Weston, Administratrix of the Estate of Saunders F. Weston v. District of Columbia

226 F.2d 268, 96 U.S. App. D.C. 366, 1955 U.S. App. LEXIS 3052

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Saunders F. Weston filed a civil action in the District Court against the District of Columbia, a Municipal Corporation, for injuries sustained by him as a patient at the Gallinger Municipal Hospital (now the District of Columbia General Hospital). Weston died, and his surviving spouse, our appellant, as adminis-tratrix of his estate, was substituted as plaintiff. The District moved to dismiss, on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, and the District Court granted the motion.

This appeal is governed by Caiomeris v. District of Columbia, decided today. 1

Affirmed.
