No. 97-30672 Summary Calendar _____________________

DWIGHT WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

COMPRESSION COAT CORPORATION,

Defendant-Appellee.

_________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana (96-CV-408) _________________________________________________________________ January 15, 1998 Before WIENER, BARKSDALE, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Dwight Williams appeals the summary judgment dismissing his

product liability and negligence claims against Compression Coat

Corporation. Williams, who was nominally employed by Tempower

Services, Inc., when allegedly injured, contends that genuine

issues of material fact exist regarding whether, at that time, he

was the borrowed employee of Compression Coat while working at its

facility. See Green v. Popeye’s Inc.,

(La. App. 3d

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. Cir. 1993); Capps v. N.L. Baroid-NL Industries, Inc.,

(5th Cir.), cert. denied,

(1986). (Of course, such

status would make Compression Coat immune from suit.) Based on our

de novo review of the summary judgment record, we conclude that

summary judgment was appropriate, and AFFIRM for essentially the

reasons stated by the district court. Williams v. Compression Coat

Corp., No. 96-0408 (W.D. La. Mar. 21, 1997) (unpublished).
