JOHN W. McGRATH CORP., Third Party Defendant-Appellee.
No. 242, Docket 32750.
United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.
Argued January 6, 1969.
Decided January 28, 1969.

Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, and MOORE and FRIENDLY, Circuit Judges.
MOORE, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from the refusal of the District Court for the Southern District of New York to grant appellant Moore-McCormack Lines, Inc.'s (hereinafter "Shipowner") motion for an order relieving it from a judgment on the ground that the judgment has been paid and directing the Clerk to mark the judgment satisfied. The only question involved on the appeal is post-judgment interest.
Plaintiff-appellee Carmelo Candiano, a carpenter, was injured in a shipboard accident. He sued Shipowner alleging that his injuries were caused by Shipowner's negligence and the unseaworthiness of the vessel. Shipowner asserted a third party claim against Candiano's employer, John W. McGrath Corporation (hereinafter "Stevedore"). Shipowner alleged that Stevedore had breached its warranty of workmanlike service and accordingly should indemnify it for any judgment it might have to pay to Candiano, including attorneys' fees and expenses.
The trial court found that Candiano's injuries were proximately caused by the unseaworthiness, as that term has come to be used, of the vessel and awarded a judgment of $50,000 against Shipowner. 251 F.Supp. 654 (S.D.N.Y.1966). It also determined that Shipowner was entitled to a judgment in like amount, plus reasonable expenses of defending the action, against Stevedore. After entry of the judgment, Stevedore assumed the further defense of the action and its counsel was substituted for Shipowner's. It thereupon undertook an unsuccessful appeal to this Court, 382 F.2d 961 (2d Cir. 1967), and certiorari was denied in the Supreme Court. 390 U.S. 1027, 88 S.Ct. 1416, 20 L.Ed.2d 284 (1968). A rehearing was also subsequently denied. 386 F.2d 444.
As his employer, Stevedore had secured to Candiano the benefits of compensation pursuant to the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C.A. § 901 et seq. The benefits...
