Vincent Ray DEERING, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. NATIONAL MAINTENANCE & REPAIR, INC., Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided December 2, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Todd M. Powers (argued), Attorney, Schroeder Maundrell Barbiere & Powers, Mason, OH, for Defendant-Appellant.

Christine E. Anderson (argued), Attorney, Faerber & Anderson, St. Louis, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before POSNER, KANNE, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.


POSNER, Circuit Judge.

Deering, employed as a riverboat pilot by National, sued it for injuries he sustained in an accident. National counterclaimed for serious damage that it alleged Deering had caused the boat—namely, sinking it. The district court dismissed the counterclaim, precipitating National's interlocutory appeal, which presents questions of admiralty law and of jurisdiction over interlocutory appeals in admiralty cases.
