Opinion
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. The questions involved are questions of fact and we cannot say that the findings of the trial judge with respect thereto are clearly wrong.
Affirmed.
