Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit December 24, 1960, 16916_1 (Richard H. Clinton v. Joshua Hendy Corporation)

BARNES, Circuit Judge.

The trial court on its own motion dismissed the complaint herein for lack of asserted admiralty jurisdiction. Defendant Joshua Hendy Corporation was never served, did not appear below, and has therefore filed no brief herein. The sole issue before this court is whether the cause of action alleged by appellant comes within the admiralty jurisdiction of the district court.
