U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided June 26, 1953 · Holmes, Strum, Rives
205 F.2d 518 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Henderson v. Avondale Marine Ways, Inc.

Opinion

RIVES, Circuit Judge.

Upon consideration, the petitidrt of ap-pellee for rehearing in the above styled and numbered cause is hereby denied.

This Court has heretofore allowed attorney’s fees directly on motion filed by the attorney for the claimant and in accordance with 33 U.S.C.A. § 928. Fidelity & Casualty Co. of New York v. Henderson, 5 Cir., 128 F.2d 1019; Radcliff Gravel Co. v. Henderson, 5 Cir., 138 F.2d 549. In eSich of those cases, however, the judgment of the District Court was affirmed; while in the present case, the judgment is i-eversed and remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion of this Court. Such further proceedings, we think, should include the allowance of such claims for legal sexwices rendered before the Deputy Commissioner and in the Distinct Court and on appeal as may appear just and proper in accordance with the provisions of 33 U.S. C.A. § 928. Accordingly, the motion for this Court to fix attorney’s fees is denied.

Denied.
