No. 81-3170.

688 F.2d 417 (1982)

Lucas GOAR, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. COMPANIA PERUANA de VAPORES, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

October 8, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Darleen M. Jacobs, New Orleans, La., for Goar.

Chaffe, McCall, Phillips, Toler & Sarpy, J. Dwight LeBlanc, Jr., New Orleans, La., for TUPAC, CPV and Standard.

Before WISDOM, RANDALL and TATE, Circuit Judges.

WISDOM, Circuit Judge:

This case poses a simple question, but a novel one with an involved answer. Does the plaintiff have a right to a jury trial in his direct action against the insurer of a foreign-state-owned shipping company, also a defendant in the case? The district court held that he does not. Goar v. Compania Peruana de Vapores, E.D. La. 1981, 510 F.Supp. 737. We affirm.
