Craig Tyler Peacock, individually; Jarrett Chandler, individually, Defendants-Appellees, v. 2558 (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Thomas G. FIGANIAK; Valerie A. Figaniak, as Administrators of the Estate of Kevin Figaniak; Plaintiffs-Appellees, Craig Tyler Peacock, individually; Jarrett Chandler, individually, Defendants-Appellees, v. Tyler JOHNSON, individually, Defendant-Appellant, Fraternal Order of Owl's Home Nest; Loyal Order of Owls Nest Lodge 2558, d/b/a The Owls Nest, a West Virginia corporation; Ye Olde Alpha, Inc., a West Virginia corporation, Defendants.

No. 17-2333

Decided: August 09, 2018

Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

John J. Hare, Shane Haselbarth, MARSHALL DENNEHEY WARNER COLEMAN & GOGGIN, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Appellant. Howard J. Bashman, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania; Jeffrey P. Goodman, SALTZ, MONGELUZZI, BARRETT & BENDESKY, P.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Guy R. Bucci, Ashley N. Lynch, HENDRICKSON AND LONG PLLC, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellees.

Defendant Tyler Johnson appeals the jury verdict finding him liable in tort to Plaintiffs Thomas and Valerie Figaniak for the death of their decedent, Kevin Figaniak, and the district court's order denying Johnson's posttrial motion for, inter alia, a new trial and for judgment as a matter of law. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Figaniak v. Johnson, No. 5:15-cv-00111-FPS, 2017 WL 4767168 (N.D.W. Va. Oct. 20, 2017). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
