Archie Davis v. S.S. Rikke Skou, Her Engines, Tackle, Apparel and Furniture, and Ove Skou Shipping Company
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided December 26, 1963 · Tuttle, Jones, Johnson
325 F.2d 432; 1963 U.S. App. LEXIS 3345 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Archie Davis v. S.S. Rikke Skou, Her Engines, Tackle, Apparel and Furniture, and Ove Skou Shipping Company

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment against the libelant-longshoreman in favor of the shipping company. The theory of libelant’s action on account of injury was that the accident was due to unseaworthiness or negligence for which the shipping company was responsible. We agree with the experienced *433 and able district judge that there was no genuine issue of any material fact and the shipping company was entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.

Affirmed.
