Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit April 3, 1990, 88-3830 (Alvin J. Treadaway, and Fidelity & Casualty Company of New York, Intervenor-Appellee v. Societe Anonyme Louis-Dreyfus Et Cie)

WISDOM, Circuit Judge:

This is the latest in a long series of cases involving the application of

Scindia

and 33 U.S.C. § 905 to a longshoreman’s negligence suit against a vessel. We affirm the district court’s finding of liability in favor of the longshoreman and against the vessel operator, but reverse the judgment with respect to the amount of damages.
