Shell Offshore Inc. v. Tesla Offshore, L.L.C. et al Doc. 326 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA SHELL OFFSHORE, INC. CIVIL ACTION VERSUS NO. 13-6278 TESLA OFFSHORE, L.L.C., ET AL. SECTION I ORDER AND REASONS The Court has pending before it a motion1 filed by defendant, Tesla Offshore L.L.C. (“Tesla”), pursuant to Rules 50, 59, and 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure “for judgment as a matter of law, for new trial, to alter and amend judgment and/or for other relief.” The motion is opposed by plaintiff, Shell Offshore, Inc. (“Shell”)2 and co-defendants, International Marine, LLC and International Offshore Services, LLC (collectively, “International”).3 Having considered the parties’ memoranda and citations to the record, as well as the applicable law, the Court concludes that the jury’s award of damages, as well as its allocation of 25% fault to International and 75% fault to Tesla is amply supported by the evidence and the law. Accordingly, Tesla has articulated no basis for relief pursuant to Rules 50, 59, or 60. IT IS ORDERED that Tesla’s motion is DENIED. New Orleans, Louisiana, April 27, 2016. ________________________________ LANCE M. AFRICK UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 1 R. Doc. No. 308. R. Doc. No. 318. 3 R. Doc. No. 319. 2 Dockets.Justia.com
