Robert v. Consolidated Rail Corp.
832 F.2d 3
C.A.1 (Mass.),1987.

The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Frank H. Freedman, Chief Judge, granted summary judgment for railroad, and appeal was taken. The Court of Appeals, Davis, Circuit Judge, sitting by designation, held that railroad was not liable absent evidence that it could or should reasonably have foreseen that employee would suffer heart attack from stress of which railroad was never informed.
Affirmed.

Leonard F. Zandrow, Jr., with whom Robert L. Farrell, Richard L. Neumeier and Parker, Coulter, Daley & White, Boston, Mass., were on brief, for defendant, appellee.
