Jonathan W. Skipp, Stephanie H. Wylie, Horr, Novak Skipp, P.A., Miami, FL, for Plaintiffs-Appellants.
Michael Ramer Karcher, Karcher Canning Karcher, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, for Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 07-21512-CV-CMA.
Before BIRCH and MARCUS, Circuit Judges and FORRESTER,[*]
District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Having thoroughly reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties and having heard oral argument by counsel, we can find no abuse of discretion, [1] particularly in view of the “Savings to Suitors” clause of 28 U.S.C. § 1333(1)[2] and the familiarity of the Florida courts with maritime disputes See, e.g. Carnival Corp. v. Carlisle, 953 So.2d 461
(Fla. 2007). Therefore, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
The district courts shall have original jurisdiction, exclusive of the courts of the States, of:
(1) Any civil case of admiralty or maritime jurisdiction, saving to suitors in all cases all other remedies to which they are otherwise entitled.
(emphasis added).
