ORDER*

2

Reviewing the jury verdict in favor of the appellees under the substantial evidence standard, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence before the jury that reasonable minds could accept as adequate to support their conclusion. Transgo, Inc. v. Ajac Transmission Parts Corp., 768 F.2d 1001, 1014 (9th Cir.1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1059 (1986). Although the jury instructions were contested below, because the appellant has not sought appellate review of the correctness of these instructions, we decline to now reach that issue. Additionally, the jury's damage award is supported by substantial evidence and, accordingly, will not be disturbed. Chalmers v. City of Los Angeles, 762 F.2d 753, 760 (9th Cir.1985).

3

Finally, we uphold the trial court's award of pre-judgment interest because it does not amount to an abuse of discretion. United States Dominator v. Factor Ship Robert E. Resoff, 768 F.2d 1099, 1106 (9th Cir.1985).

AFFIRMED.
