Melton, within 30 days from the filing of our decision, files with the clerk of this court, and serves upon Industrial, a written consent to a reduction of the award to $208,448.88, in which event the judgment will be modified to award Melton compensatory damages in this lesser amount, and as so modified affirmed in its entirety. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 24(c).)
