The Supreme Court granted cert in the case of Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach. My earlier post on the decision from the 11th Circuit is here. The opinion below is here.
The Question Presented: Whether a floating structure that is indefinitely moored receives power and other utilities from shore and is not intended to be used in maritime transportation or commerce constitutes a "vessel" under 1 U.S.C. § 3, thus triggering federal maritime jurisdiction.The Petitioner sent me links to the cert phase briefs and other coverage, here and here.
Stay tuned.
