Heading: JMLP's claim for indemnity

Text: The court entered a judgment denying recovery to JMLP for indemnity based upon alleged breach by Moran of its duty of workmanlike performance. The jury finding that one hundred percent of the negligence was committed by JMLP precludes the possibility that Moran engaged in conduct that prevented or seriously hampered [JMLP's] performance of its duty in accordance with the warranty of workmanlike service. Oglebay Norton Co. v. CSX Corporation, 788 F.2d 361 (6th Cir.1986). This conclusion by the court was not merely authorized but indeed required by the jury's verdict. AFFIRMED. Moran's motion to dismiss the appeal and its motion to award sanctions and costs (other than those normally assessed in an appeal) are DENIED.
