Eugene N. COOKMEYER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS, Defendant-Appellee. PER CURIAM. The plaintiff-appellant fell from his motorcycle while crossing a pontoon bridge on a state highway. He sued the state department of highways for injuries thus sustained. The District Court held that it lacked admiralty jurisdiction because the structure was, in fact, a bridge and not a vessel. The decision of the District Court is reported, 309 F. Supp. 881 (E.D., La., 1970). We affirm on the published opinion of the court below. Affirmed.
