Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
KEITH D. PUGH, § § No. 473, 2014 Plaintiff-Below, § Appellant, § Court Below: Superior Court § of the State of Delaware, in v. § and for New Castle County § SCOTT SLOVER, § C.A. No. 09C-07-255-MMJ § Defendant-Below, § Appellee. §
Submitted: May 13, 2015 Decided: May 14, 2015
Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND and VALIHURA, Justices.
ORDER The sole claim raised by the appellant in this appeal is that the Superior
Court erred by instructing the jury that if it concluded that the appellee, Scott
Slover, was in an emergency situation, the circumstances of that situation should
be taken into account in determining whether Slover breached the relevant standard
of care. For the reasons articulated by the Superior Court in its memorandum
opinion dated August 12, 2014 denying appellant’s motion for a new trial,1 the
Superior Court’s decision to issue the jury instruction was proper.
1 Pugh v. Davis, 2014 WL 4057772 (Del. Super. Aug. 12, 2004). 1 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the August 12, 2014
judgment of the Superior Court dismissing appellant’s motion for a new trial is
AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT: /s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr. Chief Justice
