Triche v. Overnite Trans Co

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 96-30801 DORREL TRICHE; WAYNE VICKNAIR; RUSSELL WEBRE, Plaintiffs - Appellants - Cross-Appellees, versus OVERNITE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY Defendant - Appellee - Cross-Appellant and NALCO CHEMICAL CO Defendant - Third Party Plaintiff Appellee - Appellant, versus BLUE GRASS CHEMICAL SPECIALTIES LP Third Party Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court For the Eastern District of Louisiana (95-CV-691) August 8, 1997 Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Plaintiffs’ counsel have forcefully urged the inadequacy of the damage awards. We are not, however, persuaded that the awards * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. are so inadequate that we must reverse and remand for a new trial. Rather, they fall within a permissible range, albeit on the low side. We are pointed to no other reversible error in the record, and we affirm the judgment of the district court. Each side will bear their own costs of this appeal. 2
