How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding, based on allegations materially indistinguishable from those in the present case, that the plaintiff's claims against the platform owner were \properly governed by OCSLA\ and, thus, Louisiana law
• upholding plaintiffs right to a jury against an OCSLA platform defendant
• “Although there are maritime claims asserted by plaintiff, [the non-maritime defendant] cannot piggyback its desire to proceed under admiralty law on top of the serendipitous circumstance that vessel operators are also being sued....”
• “OCSLA affords [plaintiff] a trial by jury because it specifically adopts the law of the adjacent state (Louisiana) as surrogate federal law to the extent that it is not inconsistent with federal law.”
