[612 NYS2d 830]

The IAS Court correctly held that the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act does not apply since the third-party claim for contractual indemnification is based on State law (Garvin v Alumax of S. C., 787 F2d 910 , 917, cert denied 479 US 914 ). We need not decide whether the third-party claim could be maintained if the statute did apply. Concur — Carro, J. P., Rosenberger, Ross, Asch and Tom, JJ.
