Opinion

On December 2, 2017, plaintiff Daniel Kennedy sustained injuries while working as a foreman for his employer, Cajun Deep Foundation, which had been subcontracted by LINDE Engineering North America, Inc. (“LENA”) to install auger cast in place piles on a construction site owned by Braskem America, Inc. (“Braskem”). As a result of those injuries, Kennedy filed a personal injury lawsuit against property owner Braskem and general contractor LENA, alleging that his injuries were caused by their negligence. The district court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss and this appeal followed. We have reviewed the briefs, applicable law, and relevant parts of the record. The district court conducted a careful and thorough analysis of the relevant legal issues and we find no reversible error.

Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
