Before DUBINA, MARCUS and COX, Circuit Judges.


DUBINA, Circuit Judge:

In this admiralty appeal, we consider whether the district court properly applied United States law to enforce a maritime lien, claimed by an Italian ship catering company, for providing necessaries to a Greek-flagged cruise vessel while the vessel was in a United States port. We conclude that the district court correctly applied United States law. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment.
