Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and HUTCHESON and BROWN, Circuit Judges.
JOSEPH C. HUTCHESON, Jr., Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal by Humble Oil & Refining Company from an order staying all further proceedings on Humble's petition for exoneration from, or limitation of, liability, 46 U.S.C. § 183, and vacating a previous order which had restrained proceedings in any other court.
The district judge in his opinion,1 on which the order appealed from is based, dealt carefully and fully, and we think correctly, with the contentions of the parties and, upon the grounds and for the reasons stated in his opinion, the judgment appealed from is
Affirmed.
