trial judge or the appellate court to decide, and that where a jury has found sufficient evidence to support a verdict, that determination should not be set aside on appeal unless there is no evidence to support the verdict. Here there was undoubtedly enough evidence for a jury to conclude that the respondent had either failed to design a sufficiently safe machine or failed to warn potential users of the dangers involved. On this record I cannot understand the Court of Appeals' decision as anything but a substitution of its judgment as to the sufficiency of the evidence for that of the jury. Such action is, in my opinion, forbidden by the Seventh Amendment. Cf. Galloway v. United States, 319 U. S. 372, 396-407 (1943) (BLACK, J., dissenting). I would grant certiorari and reverse the judgment below summarily.2

No. 1361. NATIONAL CAPITAL AIRLINES, INC. v. CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD ET AL. C. A. D. C. Cir. Certiorari denied. MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition. Reported below: 136 U. S. App. D. C. 86, 419 F. 2d 668.

2 The petition for certiorari was filed within 90 days of the judgment of the Court of Appeals, as required by statute. 28 U. S. C. § 2101 (c). The record, which under our Rules must also be filed within 90 days, Sup. Ct. Rule 21, was not filed until the 93d day after judgment. Since the requirement for filing the record is set forth by our Rules and not by statute, "there is no reason to exempt this case from the general principle that '[i]t is always within the discretion of a court . . . to relax or modify its procedural rules adopted for the orderly transaction of business before it when in a given case the ends of justice require it.'" American Farm Lines v. Black Ball, 397 U. S. 532, 539 (1970). Cf. Taglianetti v. United States, 394 U. S. 316, n. 1 (1969). Respondent has been requested several times to file a response to the petition and has neglected to do so. In these circumstances there are more than sufficient reasons for waiving the record-filing requirement.
