Westway Coffee Corporation v. M. v. Netuno, Her Engines, Boilers, Etc. And Appeal of Companhia De Navegacao Maritima Netumar

NEWMAN, Circuit Judge:

Defendant-appellant Companhia De Navegacao Marítima Netumar (“Netumar”) appeals from a judgment of the District Court, 528 F.Supp. 113, for the Southern District of New York (Leonard B. Sand, Judge) in favor of plaintiff Westway Coffee Corporation (“Westway”) in this admiralty action for partial non-delivery of coffee transported from Brazil to New York. Despite Netumar’s contention that it did not cause the loss, we conclude that the District Court was entitled to find that Netumar is responsible to Westway for the loss, and we therefore affirm.
