No. 87-3872.

864 F.2d 40 (1989)

Robert J. JOHNSON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. ODECO OIL AND GAS COMPANY, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

January 23, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas S. Keaty, Robert B. Keaty, New Orleans, La., and Lafayette, La. Joseph E. Dugas, New Orleans, La., for plaintiff-appellant.

James H. Daigle, Kent B. Ryan, New Orleans, La., for defendants-appellees.

Before THORNBERRY, KING and JONES, Circuit Judges.

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff Robert Johnson appeals a summary judgment rendered against him and seeks to remand this action to state court. Johnson contends that he is entitled to bring a Jones Act claim, or alternatively a Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act ("LHWCA") claim, against ODECO Oil and Gas Company, Inc. for injuries he sustained in 1985 during Hurricane Juan. Finding the district court's opinion to be correct, we affirm.
