Opinion
This is an appeal from a decree for the vessel in a suit by a seaman to recover wages and waiting time under 46 U.S. C.A. § 596. Appellant was discharged on August 3, 1947. He claims that $300 in earned wages was due him at that time. Libel was filed on March 24, 1955, more than seven years later, claiming waiting time in the sum of $30,545. No reason was alleged for the delay in instituting suit; and we think that the District Judge properly held that the claim was barred by laches. Redman v. United States, 2 Cir., 176 F.2d 713; Hughes v. Roosevelt, 2 Cir., 107 F.2d 901; The Sydford, 2 Cir., 86 F.2d 611.
Affirmed.
