J. Lauritzen A/s Lauritzen Reefers A/s v. Dashwood Shipping, Ltd.

BEEZER, Circuit Judge:

J. Lauritzen A/S and Lauritzen Reefers A/S (“Lauritzen”) appeal the district court’s dismissal of their maritime attachment action for lack of admiralty subject matter jurisdiction. Lauritzen contends that the district court erred in concluding it lacked admiralty jurisdiction over the alleged tortious interference with a contract. Dashwood Shipping Ltd.
