Lee v. Astoria Generating Co.

Issue: 1) Whether the lower court misapplied Stewart v. Dutra Construction Co., 543 U.S. 481 (2005), to find that a floating power plant constituted a "vessel in navigation"; and 2) whether the lower court erred by finding that petitioner's proposed state-law tort claims were within the maritime jurisdiction and by dismissing said claims on the basis that they were preempted by Section 905(b) of the Longshore and Harborworker Compensation Act.
