1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal arrives at our doorstep after meandering along the byways that link the Supplemental Rules for Certain Admiralty and Maritime Claims to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We conclude that, given the way in which the Admiralty Rules and the Civil Rules intersect, the district court’s order striking appellant’s claim for failure to answer interrogatories was premature. Consequently, we reverse the order, vacate the judgment, and remand for further proceedings.
