Description

ENRIGHT, District Judge: Appellants Susan, Daniel and Steven Berns ("the Berns") are the surviving children of Mr. and Mrs. Berns, two victims of a Pan American air crash in the Canary Islands which occurred on March 27, 1977. On March 24, 1978, the Berns filed a wrongful death action against appellee, Pan American World Airways ("Pan Am") and others in state court. Upon Pan Ams petition, the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Pan Am agreed not to contest liability and the Berns dismissed all other defendants. After trial the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Berns in the amount of $450,000. The three children were awarded $225,000 for the death of their mother, and the children and their grandmother received $225,000 for the death of Mr. Berns. In addition, the appellants received costs as the prevailing parties. The Berns subsequently filed a motion for a new trial which was denied by District Judge Robert J. Ward.
