Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit July 27, 1988, No. 86-3405 (Breaux v. Diamond M Drilling Co.)

JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:

After argument in this case, another panel of this Court certified to the Louisiana Supreme Court the question:

Does assumption of risk serve as a total bar to recovery by a plaintiff in a negligence case, or does it only result in a reduction of recovery under the Louisiana comparative negligence statute?

Murray v. Ramada Inn, Inc., 821 F.2d 272, 276 (1987).
