Description
This is an appeal from a decision of the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii in a diversity suit which dismissed appellants complaint for damages under the Death on the High Seas Act, 46 U.S.C.A. ? 761, to be determined by a common law jury since it was brought as a common law civil suit rather than in admiralty. Jurisdiction was based on diversity of citizenship, the deceased Higa and his administrator in a Hawaiian proceeding being citizens of Hawaii, and the plane owned by a California corporation.
