East River Construction Corp. v. District of Columbia

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was found guilty by the court on an information charging, in two counts, violations of certain safety regulations1 in connection with the construction of a storm water sewer.

While several errors are alleged, appellant’s principal contention is that the District failed to prove the various allegations charged beyond a reasonable doubt. We have carefully examined the record. It contains substantial evidence to show that appellant had failed to adequately shore a trench more than fifteen feet in depth and ten feet in length in violation of the safety standards.

Affirmed.
