United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before RUBIN, GARWOOD, and JONES, Circuit Judges.

ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:

When, however, the vessel is in all respects other than its temporary predicament fit for navigation it may be, as the district court correctly held. We reverse, however, its summary judgment finding that the officers and crew of the EUGENIO C were not negligent in failing to place the pilot ladder in a less precarious location.
