Heading: Plaintiff's Other Claims of Error

Text: Allied argues that the District Court erred in denying its request for discovery. We reverse or modify a district court's denial of a discovery request only upon a clear showing of an abuse of discretion. Wills v. Amerada Hess Corp., 379 F.3d 32, 51 (2d Cir.2004). Here, Allied has failed to make such a showing. Finally, we consider Allied's argument that the District Court erred in declining to fashion an equitable remedy. As a court sitting in admiralty, we may use equitable principles where appropriate to avoid injustice. Montauk Oil Transp. Corp. v. Sonat Marine, Inc., 871 F.2d 1169, 1172 (2d Cir.1989). We cannot conclude that it was error for the District Court to decline to design an equitable remedy in favor of Allied in the circumstances presented here, where Allied sought to continue to attach funds that were improperly attached under a now-abrogated legal theory.
