Orville L. Olson, Jr. v. American Oil Company, a Foreign Corporation and Wally Hanson

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Orville L. Olson, Jr., appeals from a decision of the District Court granting motions for summary judgment in favor of American Oil Company and Wally Hanson, an employee of American Oil Company. The primary issue on appeal is whether Olson’s common law action against American and Hanson is barred in light of the payments American made to Olson pursuant to Minnesota Workmen’s Compensation laws.

We have carefully considered the briefs and the record. We affirm on the basis of the District Court’s opinion. Orville L. Olson, Jr. v. American Oil Company and Wally Hanson, 474 F.Supp. 560 (D.N.D. 1978).
