, 50 St.Rep. 131 Submitted on Briefs August 6, 1992. Plaintiff Larry Boyken brought this action against defendant Steven Steele to recover damages for intentional assault and

caused his injuries. The District Court granted Boyken's motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and awarded the
full amount of damages. The District Court did not allow offset against amounts previously received by Boyken for the same
injuries in a negligence settlement with Lee's Northside Bar. From this judgment, Steele appeals. We reverse.
