UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-60830
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY,
a Mississippi Corporation,
Plaintiff-Counter Defendant-Appellee,
VERSUS
JOHN BURTON, ET AL.,
Defendants-Counter Claimants-Appellants.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
(1:02-CV-36)
Before GARZA, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
A Mississippi jury unanimously decided that

Appellant’s title insurance claim was not covered by a
title insurance policy issued by Appellee. The jury also
decided that Appellee was not liable for the allegedly
negligent title examination conducted before issuing the
policy.
On appeal, Appellants challenge the sufficiency of
the evidence supporting the jury’s verdict. After
thoroughly reviewing the entire record, we are confident
that sufficient evidence supports both of the jury’s
findings. While the testimony of Appellee’s witnesses was
hotly controverted by Appellants’ witnesses, it was the
jury’s call as to the credibility of those witnesses.
Finding each of Appellants’ arguments on appeal
unpersuasive, we AFFIRM.
AFFIRMED.
