Vaughan E. TYNDZIK, Claimant-Petitioner, v. DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WORKERS COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, Respondent, University of Guam, Employer-Respondent.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided May 2, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Derek B. Jacobson, McGuinn, Hillsman & Palefsky, San Francisco, CA, for claimant-petitioner.

Sandra D. Lynch, Carbullido & Pires, Upper Tumon, Guam, for employer-respondent University of Guam.

Before HUG, CANBY, and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.

CANBY, Circuit Judge.

In this case we must decide whether on September 1, 1988, the University of Guam ("the University") was a "subdivision" of the government of Guam, for purposes of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act ("LHWCA"), §§ 1, et seq.; 33 U.S.C. §§ 901, et seq. We hold that the University was not a subdivision of Guam within the meaning of 33 U.S.C. § 903(b) at that time.
