AINSWORTH, District Judge.
Two questions are presented here for decision: (1) Does this court have jurisdiction of a libel against a foreign insurer with no office, place of business or agent for service of process in Louisiana but which insured a vessel for negligent operation with navigation limits in the policy including the waters of Louisiana; and (2) Can a libelant sue the vessel owner’s insurers under the provisions of the Louisiana direct action statute despite the pendency of limitation and exoneration proceedings involving the vessel in a federal district court in Texas ?
