| and VI of their complaint. In addition to Counts II and VIII, which are pending before this court, there are pending the following plaintiffs' motions: |
| 1. Plaintiff's motion for a new trial which is DENIED. |
| 2. Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment which is DENIED. |
| 3. Motion for Remittitur on Defendants' Counterclaim which is DENIED. |
| 4. Motion for Additur on Count IX of the Complaint which is |
additur is given are those set forth in those filed this day. It
is also obvious that the jury in granting the plaintiff
Rhetta
Sweeney $65,000.00 for her emotional upset was giving her the
amount of the interest paid to ComFed. That measure of damage does
not take into account any incidents of emotional upset the
plaintiff Rhetta Sweeney suffered, is suffering, or may suffer in
the future because of the tortious behavior of the defendants. The
amount awarded to the jury was just the out-of-pocket sum of money
that was involved in the incident giving rise to the tortious
behavior of the defendants. It would appear the jury gave no
thought as to a sum of money for the pain and suffering involved
in an emotional upset of a person like the plaintiff, Rhetta
Sweeney. Thus, in my opinion the total amount of $315,000.00 is
a fair and adequate judgment on Count IX.

Disclosure of Restrictive Materials which is allowed.
