Charles E. Floyd, Phenix City, Ala., for plaintiff-appellant.
Alan F. Herman, Frank C. Bedinger, III, Atlanta, Ga., for defendant-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia.
Before RONEY, FRANK M. JOHNSON, Jr. and HENDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant Billy C. Bussey suffered an eye injury in an employment-related accident. He filed suit against his employer's insurance carrier, alleging that during its safety inspections it failed to discover and correct the condition which caused the injury. The district court granted the insurer's motion for summary judgment on the ground that under Georgia law, Bussey did not establish the requisite degree of reliance by himself or his employer on the insurer's inspection services. We affirm on the basis of the district court opinion, attached hereto as an Appendix.
AFFIRMED.
