1Opinion of the Court
JERRE S. WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge:
Appellants Daniel Melancon and his wife, Tressella Aymond Melancon, sued Amoco Production Company claiming damages based upon Daniel Melancon’s work related injury. Appellant, American General Fire & Casualty Company, intervened. The district court dismissed the suit on the basis of its finding that Mr. Melancon was a “borrowed employee” of Amoco, and therefore the suit against Amoco was barred by the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. § 905(a). The Melancons and the intervenor insurance company appeal. We affirm the district court.
