ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE WESTERN
DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
BEFORE: BOGGS, Chief Judge, GIBBONS, and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Following an eleven-car derailment, plaintiff railway sued the repair facility that serviced its
railcar seven years prior to the accident. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of
defendants because it concluded, inter alia, that plaintiffs could not establish that defendants’ alleged
negligence proximately caused the derailment.
After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, 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 summary judgment opinion and
order of September 18, 2007, and its opinion and order of October 29, 2007, denying plaintiff’s
motion for reconsideration.
