Before BAZELON, Chief Judge, and FAHY and LEVENTHAL, Circuit judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
This appeal is from a judgment of the District Court on a verdict directed in favor of the defendants, appellees, at the conclusion of the case in chief of plaintiffs, appellants.  Their suit was for damages attributed to injuries to the female plaintiff suffered in a fall on an icy sidewalk in front of property owned by Upland Terrace, Inc.  Within the principles governing the liability of the municipality in such cases,1 and that of the property owner,2 we agree with the District Court that the plaintiffs' evidence failed to make out a case warranting submission to the jury of the issues of liability.


2
Affirmed.


3
LEVENTHAL, Circuit Judge, took no part in the consideration and decision in this case.
