GILBANE BUILDING COMPANY v. BRITTON

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.
Mar 5, 1959

PER CURIAM.

The District Court entered summary judgment for defendants on a complaint which alleged that the defendant Deputy Commissioner, U.S. Department of Labor, erred in granting an award to defendant claimant under the District of Columbia Workmen's Compensation Act. D.C. Code § 36-501 (1951), incorporating by reference The Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, Title 33, ch. 18 U.S.C. The Deputy Commissioner granted the award on the basis of his finding of a permanent partial disability resulting from an injury the claimant sustained in 1955 in the course of his employment by appellant building company.

33 U.S.C.A. § 901 et seq., 903 note.

Appellants contend that the record as a whole does not support the findings of the Deputy Commissioner. The record discloses sufficient evidence to sustain the award and the order appealed from is

Affirmed.
