PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from a summary judgment against the libelant-longshoreman in favor of the shipping company. The theory of libelant’s action on account of injury was that the accident was due to unseaworthiness or negligence for which the shipping company was responsible. We agree with the experienced[*433] and able district judge that there was no genuine issue of any material fact and the shipping company was entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.
Affirmed.
