ORDER & REASONS
BARRY W. ASHE, District Judge.
Defendant CVI Global Lux Oil and Gas 4 S.a.r.l. ("CVI") filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of plaintiff's unseaworthiness claims against it.1 CVI argues that, because plaintiff Joseph Dukes ("Dukes") was not a seaman aboard its vessel, but rather a passenger, Dukes cannot bring an unseaworthiness claim against CVI.2 Dukes does not dispute that he does not have an unseaworthiness claim against CVI, and does not oppose the motion.3
Accordingly
IT IS ORDERED that CVI's motion for summary judgment regarding Dukes' unseaworthiness claims is GRANTED, and those claims are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
FootNotes
1. R. Doc. 92.
2. R. Doc. 92-1 at 1-5.
3. R. Doc. 100. Dukes correctly notes that CVI had not moved for summary judgment on his negligence claims against it. Therefore, those claims remain pending.
