PER CURIAM.

When John F. Dommel stepped on a manhole cover in front of an apartment house of which he was a resident and former manager, the cover tilted and he was injured. He sued the owner and rental agent of the apartment house, and also made the District of Columbia a defendant. His wife sued for loss of consortium.

Holding the defendants had neither actual nor constructive notice of the alleged defective condition, the trial court directed a verdict in their favor, whereupon this appeal was taken. We find no error.

Affirmed.
