Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided May 19, 1995No. 94-30251, 94-60706PublishedCited by 90 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
WIENER, Circuit Judge:
The appeals we hear in consolidation today are brought by two plaintiffs-appellants who claim that they were injured while working on a Jones Act vessel, but whose claims were dismissed on summary judgments rendered by different district courts. Both claims arose in the context of the dockside casino facet of the burgeoning gaming industries in two of the states of this circuit. In our plenary review of the district courts’ summary judgments, we exercise our authority to affirm for reasons differing somewhat from those of the trial courts.
