Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

December 8, 2000
Before POLITZ, SMITH, and PARKER,
Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
In this Jones Act case, the employer appeals
a finding of 100% liability for plaintiff’s back
injury. We have reviewed the briefs and appli-
cable law and pertinent portions of the record
and have heard the arguments of counsel.
Especially given the highly deferential stan-
dard of review, we see no reversible error. the
judgment, accordingly, is AFFIRMED.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has
determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the
limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R.
47.5.4.
