May 20, 1991.

Before TACHA and SETH, Circuit Judges, and BRATTON, District Judge.*

ORDER AND JUDGMENT**

TACHA, Circuit Judge.

1

Plaintiffs' negligence claims against the government arose when one of their number placed in their campfire a live 40mm helicopter-launched anti-personnel grenade that one of them found while they were camping on government land. The district court granted the government summary judgment based on the superseding intervention of the party who placed the grenade in the fire. We AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the district court.
