(D.V.I. Civ. No. 1-15-cv-00049)
Honorable Anne E. Thompson, U.S. District Judge Before: KRAUSE, ROTH, and FISHER, Circuit Judges JUDGMENT
This cause came to be considered on the record from the United States District Court for the Virgin Islands and was argued on May 22, 2018. Because proceedings in the District Court have continued during the pendency of this appeal, we find that the interests of the parties and the public are best served by issuing our judgment promptly.
On consideration whereof, it is now hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED by this Court that the judgment of the District Court entered on May 16, 2017, be and the same is hereby AFFIRMED in all respects except as to Appellees' gross negligence claim, on which point it is REVERSED. A formal opinion will follow. The time for filing a petition for rehearing shall run from the date that the Court's formal opinion is entered on the docket. Costs taxed against the Appellants.
By the Court,
s/ Cheryl Ann Krause
