    For the p-variate Poisson mean, under the sum of weighted squared error losses, weights being reciprocals of variances, a new empirical Bayes Clevenson Zidek-type estimator is developed, for an interesting \(\epsilon\)-contaminated class of priors. The new estimator is a data adaptive compromise between the Bayes and empirical Bayes estimator.
