PER CURIAM. Justice David M. Britt, being a member of the panel of the Court of Appeals which decided the case, did not sit in the appeal to this Court. The remaining six justices are equally divided as to whether the trial court erred in denying defendants’ motions for a dircted verdict, for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial. Thus, the opinion of the Court of Appeals is affirmed without precedential value in accordance with the usual practice in this situation.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Townsend v. Norfolk & Southern Railway Co.. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
