Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
- 942 F.2d 793 (9th Cir. 1991)
Argued and Submitted Aug. 15, 1991. Decided Aug. 28, 1991
Before WILLIAM A. NORRIS and DAVID R. THOMPSON, Circuit Judges, and KING, District Judge* .
MEMORANDUM**
The district court in a bench trial found and ruled among other things that the appellant had failed to prove that the failure to follow the Navy regulations in question regarding reporting the misbehavior of military personnel was a proximate cause of the subsequent derailing of appellant's train. This ruling was not clearly erroneous. See Armstrong v. United States, 756 F.2d 1407 (9th Cir. 1985).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
