Barry CLIFFORD, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. M/V ISLANDER and Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority, Defendants, Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided August 8, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Allan H. Tufankjian, Scituate, Mass., on brief, for plaintiff, appellant.

Frank H. Handy, Jr. and Kneeland, Kydd & Handy, Boston, Mass., on brief, for defendants, appellees.

Before BOWNES, TORRUELLA and SELYA, Circuit Judges.

SELYA, Circuit Judge.
