ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
BEFORE: KENNEDY, BATCHELDER, and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiffs Stephen and Lori Fritz appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment in
favor of defendants Campbell Hausfeld /Scott Fetzer Company and Briggs & Stratton Corporation.
Stephen Fritz sustained injuries while using a Campbell Hausfeld/Scott Fetzer gasoline-
powered pressure washer equipped with a Briggs & Stratton engine. Plaintiffs thereafter brought
suit against defendants, asserting theories of strict products liability, negligence, and breach of
warranty. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of both defendants and dismissed
Fritz’s complaint on the ground that plaintiffs failed to produce prima facie evidence of a product
defect causally linked to Stephen Fritz’s claimed injury.

No. 07-5801
Fritz v. Campbell Hausfield
- 2 -
After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, and hearing oral
argument, we conclude that issuance of a panel opinion would not serve any jurisprudential purpose.
Thus, we affirm the district court’s well-reasoned decision for the reasons stated in that court’s
May 29, 2007, opinion and order.
AFFIRMED.
