Most-quoted passages

“See Ham Marine, Inc. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 72 F.3d 454 , 459 (5th Cir.1995) (quoting Watkins v. Petro-Search, Inc., 689 F.2d 537 , 538 (5th Cir.1982)). We review bench trial findings of fact for clear error. See Baldwin v. Stalder, 137 F.3d 836 , 839 (5th Cir.1998). Such a finding is clearly erroneous”
