Description
WOLFE, Chief Justice. This is an action to recover damages for assault and battery. It was tried without a jury and judgment was entered for the plaintiff, Le Roy Mecham, for $1,000 general and $100 punitive damages. The case was dismissed with prejudice against the Dry Gulch Irrigation Company. The defendant, Matthew Foley, appeals, contending that the court erred: (1) in dismissing the counterclaim because the evidence indicates that plaintiff was the aggressor; (2) in awarding punitive or general damages, neither being supported by the evidence; and (3) in awarding $1,000 general damages, such sum being grossly excessive.
