Opinions

PER CURIAM.

This is a proceeding instituted by appellee to condemn certain land in the District of Columbia owned by appellants. The case duly came on for trial, and a verdict was rendered by the condemnation jury awarding compensation to the property owners.

Thereafter, appellants filed a motion for a new trial, urging errors in the exclusion of certain proffered evidence, errors in the admission of certain other evidence, error in the refusal of the court to strike certain evidence allegedly erroneously admitted, and errors in the court’s charge to the jury.

The trial court, in an exhaustive opinion, 232 F.Supp. 714 (1964), sub nominee, District of Columbia v. Lot 813 in Square 568, overruled the motion for new trial, and thereupon the verdict of the jury was ratified and confirmed.

We .think the opinion of the trial court adequately disposes of the points raised on appeal and, accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is

Affirmed.
