Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent, Carrere & Denegre, Fred E. Salley, George R. Alvey, Jr., New Orleans, La., for defendant-appellant, cross-appellee.

R. Layne Royer, Baton Rouge, La., for appellees.

Before BROWN, WILLIAMS, and GARWOOD, Circuit Judges.

JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal from a judgment awarding maintenance and cure to Bob Springborn and his cross-appeal from a judgment denying his claims under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688, and for unseaworthiness. We conclude that the jury's award for maintenance and cure was excessive, not supported by the evidence, and reverse and remand. We affirm the jury's determination that there was no negligence or unseaworthiness.
