Loeber v. Bay Tankers, Inc.

The Plaintiffs-Appellants, Charlene and Glen Loeber, individually and on behalf of their daughter Gretchen Loeber, appeal the district court’s order (1) sustaining the motion by the United States that summary judgment be granted, dismissing their suit against the United States for want of jurisdiction; and (2) denying the Loebers’ motion to file a third amended and supplemental complaint in which they sought to have the court exercise pendent-party jurisdiction over Violet Dock Port, Inc. We affirm the grant of summary judgment and reverse the denial of the motion to file an amended complaint.
