Eastern District of Arkansas
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - diversity. Judgment finding construction company
performing work for the state 40% liable for a traffic accident in a
construction zone is affirmed. Construction company is not protected
from acquired-immunity doctrine based on testimony that company had

negligently and district court did not err in denying post-judgment
motion. District court did not abuse its discretion in instructing jury
according to model instruction.
