Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions
that have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases
on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless
expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession."
Pursuant to that Rule, the Court has determined that this opinion
should not be published.
determined that the fabrication of petroleum storage tanks was part
of the regular trade, business or occupation of Chevron and that
Bourg was a statutory employee of Chevron. Accordingly, the
district court granted summary judgment for Chevron Chemical and
Bourg appeals.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts and
the evidence tendered on motion for summary judgment. We are
satisfied that, for the reasons stated by the district court in its
Order and Reasons filed under date of March 4, 1995, the summary
judgment for Chevron Chemical was proper and correct.
AFFIRMED
