ELDON E. FALLON, District Judge.
Before the Court is the Motion for Summary Judgment of Defendant Varco, L.P. (formerly known as Tuboscope Vetco International, Tuboscope, Inc. and AMF Tuboscope, Inc.)

Doc. 535) The basis for Varco's motion is that these 59 Tuboscope Employee Plaintiffs' claims are subject to the workers' compensation exclusive remedy bar pursuant to the Louisiana Workers' Compensation Act because their claims arise out of alleged NORM exposure occurring in the course and scope of their employment with Varco.

Considering the foregoing motion, it is hereby ORDERED that any and all claims and causes of action of all 59 Tuboscope Employee Plaintiffs, as identified in R. Doc. 535, which arise out of their exposure to radioactive substances in the course and scope of their employment while these Plaintiffs were employed by Tuboscope Vetco International, Inc., f/k/a Tuboscope, Inc., f/k/a AMF Tuboscope, Inc., for whom Varco is the successor-in-interest, are hereby dismissed with prejudice, each party to bear its own cost.
