versus

PRODUCERS ASSISTANCE CORPORATION, Third Party Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court For the Southern District of Texas (G-95-CV-283) April 18, 1997

Before WISDOM, JOLLY, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* After de novo review, we hold that the district court properly determined that the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act requires that Louisiana law be applied to the Master Servant Agreement.1 Under Louisiana Law, the district court properly determined that the Master Servant Agreement “pertains to a well” under the Louisiana Oilfield Anti-Indemnity Act (LOAIA), and that the LOAIA voids the indemnification clause in the agreement.2 Accordingly, the district court is AFFIRMED.

* The court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
