Abstract
Let $\gamma$ be an Ustilovsky geodesic and $H$ its generating function. We give a simple proof of a generalization of the conjecture stated in [7], relating the Morse index of $\gamma$, as a critical point of the Hofer length functional, with the Conley Zehnder index of the extremizers of $H$, considered as periodic orbits.
