1Opinion of the Court
LEIBELL, District Judge.
Respondent, Pan-Atlantic Steamship Corporation, moves for an order permitting it to join Barber Wilhelmsen Line and Wilhelm Wilhelmsen as respondents under Rule 56 of the Admiralty Rules promulgated by the United States Supreme Court, 28 U.S.C.A. following section 723. If this motion had been made at some earlier stage in this proceeding I would have granted it. I am of the opinion that it comes so late that, in the proper exercise of the Court’s discretion, it should be denied.
A recital of-the various steps taken in this litigation is set forth in the motion papers…
