Crisis Transportation Company v. M/v Erlangen Express, Her Engines, Tackle, Etc.

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided July 11, 1986No. 85-2460PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge.

Crisis Transportation Company (Crisis), appeals from the district court’s Fed.R. Civ.P. 41(b) dismissal of its cause of action. Crisis urges us to reverse on the grounds that the district court erred in determining that Crisis failed to establish a prima facie case of negligence under the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 46 U.S.C. §§ 1300, et seq. We agree with the district court that no prima facie case had been made out at the close of Crisis’ proof. The complaint was thus properly dismissed when Crisis failed to carry its burden of proof. We therefore affirm.
