EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
OFFSHORE SPECIALITY FABRICATORS, L.L.C.

CIVIL ACTION

v.

NO. 11-248

DUMAS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

SECTION "F"
ORDER

Before the Court is the plaintiffs’ motion to strike jury
demand, currently set for hearing on February 22, 2012.

The

plaintiffs contend that the defendant’s jury demand should be
stricken on the ground that this case falls within the admiralty
and maritime jurisdiction of this Court.

The defendant has filed

papers suggesting that it does not oppose the motion to strike its
jury demand, and agrees that the basis of the Court’s jurisdiction
is in admiralty.
Accordingly, there being no dispute, IT IS ORDERED: that the
plaintiffs’ motion to strike jury demand is hereby GRANTED.

New Orleans, Louisiana, February 16, 2012
