Eugene N. Cookmeyer v. Louisiana Department of Highways

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Eugene N. Cookmeyer v. Louisiana Department of Highways, 433 F.2d 386 (5th Cir. 1970)
1972 A.M.C. 1120

Eugene N. Cookmeyer v. Louisiana Department of Highways

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff-appellant fell from his motorcycle while crossing a pontoon bridge on a state highway. He sued the state department of highways for injuries thus sustained. The District Court held that it lacked admiralty jurisdiction because the structure was, in fact, a bridge and not a vessel.

The decision of the District Court is reported, 309 F.Supp. 881 (E.D., La., 1970).

We affirm on the published opinion of the court below.

Affirmed.
