Summary Calendar
HAROLD LANDRY,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
SEA MAR INC.; ET AL.,
Defendants
SEA MAR INC.; PETSEC ENERGY, INC.
Defendants-Appellees;
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 98-CV-1015
--------------------
September 7, 2001
Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Harold Landry appeals from the jury’s verdict of no Jones
Act liability, no unseaworthiness, and no obligation to pay
maintenance and cure in favor of Sea Mar, Inc. (Sea Mar) and the
district court’s judgment as a matter of law in favor of Petsec
Energy, Inc. (Petsec). Landry argues that the evidence supported
his claims of negligence, unseaworthiness, and his entitlement to
maintenance and cure.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 00-30021
-2-
Our review of the record reveals that there was ample
evidence supporting the jury’s verdict and that Landry has not
shown that the evidence was so strongly and overwhelmingly in his
favor that a reasonable jury could not have arrived at a contrary
conclusion. See Douglas v. DynMcDermott Petroleum Operations,
Co., 144 F.3d 364, 369 (5th Cir. 1998). Nor has Landry shown
that the judgment as a matter of law in favor of Petsec was
error.
The judgment of the district court dismissing Landry’s
claims against Sea Mar and Petsec is AFFIRMED. Sea Mar’s motion
to strike record excerpts is DENIED.
