Description
DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judge. Dissatisfied with a $100,000 jury verdict he recovered in a Federal Employers Liability Act action against the defendant railroad, plaintiff Burns Scott Howard has appealed the judgment entered on that verdict. Although the trial court declined to give a jury instruction requested by the defendant railroad to the effect that future earnings ought to be discounted to their present value, should the jury decide to award damages for loss of future earning capacity, plaintiff contends that the trial court nonetheless erred in instructing the jury to disregard the effect of inflation in considering any such award. Finding, on the particular record before us, no prejudicial error, we shall affirm the judgment.
