CLIFF, JR., INC., PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE, v. M. V. CAPTAIN WILL ET AL., DEFENDANTS, PLAQUEMINE OIL SALES, CORPORATION, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT, CLIFFORD QUINN, SR., INTERVENOR-APPELLEE.

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING [2] (Opinion 1-23-76, 5 Cir., 1976, 526 F.2d 345)

PER CURIAM:

The defendant has petitioned for a rehearing on the ground that the Court did not apply the divided damages rule of United States v. Reliable Transfer Co., 1975, 421 U.S. 397, 95 S.Ct. 1708, 44 L.Ed.2d 251. The Reliable Transfer rule is inapplicable. That rule applies only "when two or more parties have contributed by their fault to cause property damage . . .." 421 U.S. at 411, 95 S.Ct. at 1715, 44 L.Ed.2d at 262. The district court found that the plaintiff's vessel, the Cliff, was placed in a perilous position by the defendant's vessel, the Captain Will. This, the defendant conceded, was the sole fault of the Captain Will. In these circumstances, the district court found that the navigator of the plaintiff's ship acted reasonably. We held that the district court's findings were not clearly erroneous.

The petition for rehearing is denied.
