Cookmeyer v. Louisiana Department of Highways (433 F.2d 386, 1970)

PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff-appellant fell from his motorcycle while crossing a pontoon bridge on a state highway. He sued the state department of highways for injuries thus sustained. The District Court held that it lacked admiralty jurisdiction because the structure was, in fact, a bridge and not a vessel.

The decision of the District Court is reported, 309 F.Supp. 881 (E.D., La., 1970).

We affirm on the published opinion of the court below.

Affirmed.
