v.

PLAINTIFFS

No. 3:14-cv-35-DPM

DOLLAR TREE STORES, INC.

DEFENDANT

JUDGMENT
Jonnas Harding's and Rodney Harding's claims against Dollar Tree
Stores, Inc. were tried to a twelve-person jury from 15 June 2015 to 17 June
2015. The jury's verdicts, NQ 49 & NQ 50, are incorporated. After deliberations,
the jury found unanimously that bothJonnas Harding and Dollar Tree were
negligent and apportioned negligence 50/50. Mrs. Harding is not entitled,
therefore, to recover any damages. As instructed, the jury found for Dollar
Tree on Mr. Harding's derivative loss-of-consortium claim, which failed as a
matter of law because his wife did not recover. The Court enters judgment on
the jury's verdicts for Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. on both claims. Dollar Tree may
be entitled to costs as allowed by law if it decides to pursue them. Any
motion for costs due by 30 June 2015. The Hardings' complaint is dismissed
with prejudice.
