U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Loffland Brothers Company v. Gerald H. Huckabee, Gerald H. Huckabee v. Loffland Brothers Company, 373 F.2d 528 (5th Cir. 1967)

Loffland Brothers Company v. Gerald H. Huckabee, Gerald H. Huckabee v. Loffland Brothers Company

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal by Loffland, owner of a seagoing drilling tender, from a verdict and judgment in favor of one Huekabee, an employe of a service company, Marine Catering Service, Inc., for injuries suffered by Huekabee while descending a ladder aboardship; a cross appeal by Huekabee from the action of the trial court in crediting the judgment against Loffland by a settlement payment made to Huekabee by his employer; and an appeal by Loffland from a judgment by the trial court dismissing a third party complaint by Loffland against Marine Catering following a jury verdict that no “indemnity is due to Loffland Brothers Company by Marine Catering Company.”

We have carefully considered the record and each of the grounds of appeal and cross-appeal, and find them all to be without merit. The substantial issues were fact issues. They were resolved by the jury following a charge by the court which we find adequately presented the issues for determination.

The judgments are affirmed.
