Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit April 5, 1985, No. 83-2478 (Cactus Pipe & Supply Co. v. M/V Montmartre)

JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:

This appeal arises from claims for damage to a cargo of steel tubing shipped aboard the M/V MONTMARTRE in July, 1979. Because we find that in rem jurisdiction was established in one case of this consolidated action, we reverse. We also reverse and remand for a determination of whether the vessel was liable in rem.
