HEISE v. FISHING CO. OF ALASKA, INC.

No. 95-35194.

79 F.3d 903 (1996)

Jon HEISE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. The FISHING COMPANY OF ALASKA, INC., A Washington Corporation; Alaskan Ranger, her engines, tackle, gear, equipment, and appurtenances, Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided March 19, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles W. Ray, Jr., Anchorage, Alaska, for plaintiff-appellant.

Steven E. Mulder, Bogle & Gates, Anchorage, Alaska, for defendants-appellees.

Before FLETCHER, KOZINSKI, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:

Jon Heise appeals from the district court's grant of summary judgment to the Fishing Company of Alaska (FCA). The district court held (1) that Heise was not a seaman and therefore not entitled to remedies available under the Jones Act and (2) that the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) barred his suit for negligence against FCA. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm.
