United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided September 15, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nicholas J. Healy, Healy & Baillie, New York City, for plaintiffs-appellees.

Frank Cicero, Jr., Kirkland & Ellis, Chicago, Ill., for defendant-appellant.

Before SWYGERT, Senior Circuit Judge, BAUER, Circuit Judge, and CRABB, District Judge.

CRABB, District Judge.

This is an interlocutory appeal taken from one of the many cases spawned by the March 16, 1978 oil spill off the coast of France.1 The issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in denying the motion of defendant-appellant for a stay of proceedings pending arbitration of certain disputes between the parties. We conclude that the arbitration should proceed and, accordingly, we reverse.
