MEMORANDUM OPINION
BUCHMEYER, District Judge.
This conflict arises over the air transportation to that most romantic of cities — Paris — of a decidedly unromantic commodity: *664horsemeat.1
The defendant A. Warren Owens (“Owens”) is an international cargo agent who wrote air waybills2 covering the horsemeat shipment of horsemeat by Marlboro Packing Co., a Texas horsemeat broker.
