Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit·Decided April 25, 1956·No. 7164·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a judgment for the United States in an action under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 1346, 2671 et seq., for personal injuries sustained by a tenant in a government housing project when he stumbled over a wooden stob left near the parking space in front of the house in which he resided. The trial judge denied recovery on a finding of lack of negligence on, the part of those in charge *179 of the premises and of contributory negligence on the part of plaintiff.
