ORDER

Before BROWNING, Chief Judge, SWYGERT*  and WRIGHT, Circuit Judges.


The facts in this appeal from the decision of the Office of Workers Compensation Programs denying coverage are indistinguishable from those in Arbeeny v. McRoberts Protective Agency, 642 F.2d 672 (2d Cir. 1981). The Arbeeny claimants were covered because in protecting cargo from theft they were an integral part of the loading and unloading process. Kelly's job involved protecting shipping containers from theft damage. We reverse the Board's order for the reasons stated in Arbeeny.

Honorable Luther M. Swygert, Senior Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, sitting by designation
