Brother Unity Maritime S.A. v. Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd, No. 1:2009cv05013 - Document 4 (S.D.N.Y. 2009)

Court Description: OPINION AND ORDER:#97596 In this Court's view, Plaintiff is seeking to distort the scope of Admiralty Rule B on behalf of a foreign entity by harassing another foreign entity by proceeding in this District, rather than proceeding in a jurisdicti on in which it could arrest the vessel and assert its liens against the cargo in the port of discharge, Pohang Port, South Korea. In view of this misuse of Rule B, the Complaint filed by Peter Skoufalos of the Firm of Brown Gavalas and Fromm, 353 Lexington Avenue, New York City, is dismissed with prejudice.
