Opinion
The appellee and cross-appellant, Paul Turner, a merchant seaman, brought an action against Delta Steamship Lines, the appellant and cross-appellee, to recover for the impairment of his hearing as a result of excessive noise on the vessel of Delta on which he was employed. A jury trial was had and a verdict was rendered for Turner. Under the coercion of a conditional order for a new trial, Turner filed a remittitur for the amount which the district court had found to be unjustified. Judgment was entered for the remaining amount. Delta has appealed from the judgment. In his cross-appeal Turner asserts that he is entitled to the full amount of the verdict.
Although the grounds for the appeal and the cross-appeal are phrased in terms of legal propositions, the contentions are primarily factual. There is no error disclosed by the record. The judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
