Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided September 15, 1995No. 94-41208PublishedCited by 10 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
DeMOSS, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from an interlocutory order approving a settlement in a Jones Act case. The order did not dispose of all of the intervenors to the action and the district court did not conduct a hearing to ensure that the seaman’s rights were protected. Therefore, after determining that we have jurisdiction to hear this appeal under the interlocutory exception for certain admiralty claims, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(3), we VACATE the opinion of the district court and REMAND the case for a hearing as to the terms of the settlement and a disposition of all intervenors’ claims.
