1Opinion of the Court
FRANK B. ELLIS, District Judge.
The vessel owner in this case has filed a limitation proceeding in connection with a maritime casualty which occurred in Louisiana. The customary monition has been issued along with an injunction prohibiting all other suits against the vessel and the owner. The claimants, pursuant to the provisions of Louisiana’s Direct Action Statute (LSA-R.S. 22:655) have instituted civil actions against the vessel’s underwriters. The underwriters, as defendants in the civil action, have moved this court to stay such actions pending the outcome of the limitation proceeding.
