Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit May 20, 1981, 80-3288 (System Fuels, Inc. v. Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Third Party v. Chevron, Usa, Inc., Third Party)

WISDOM, Circuit Judge:

The issue in this diversity case is whether the plaintiff’s complaint was filed within Louisiana’s one-year prescription period for redhibition actions, La.Civ.Code art. 2534. We affirm the district court’s holding that the action is prescribed.

This suit involves defective steel pipe sold to the plaintiff System Fuels, by the defendant, Bethlehem Steel.
