Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
(93-CV-1273)
______________________________________________________
November 13, 1995
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
The only issue presented on appeal is whether the district
court correctly determined that Halliburton Geophysical Services,
1
Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that
have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases on
the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless
expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession."
Pursuant to that Rule, the Court has determined that this opinion
should not be published.
Inc. (Halliburton) was entitled to indemnification from Cameron
Boat Rentals, Inc. (Cameron) under the terms of the time charter in
effect between them. For essentially the reasons advanced by the
district court in its thorough reasons for judgment rendered on
April 10, 1995, we conclude that the district court correctly
resolved this issue under maritime law as expresssed in Ogea v.
Loffland, 622 F.2d 186 (5th Cir. 1980).
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
