Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff-appellant, a garage attendant, was seriously injured while using a “man-lift” on his employer’s premises. Workmen’s compensation having been duly paid him, he brought suit for damages against his employer, the builder of the building, the owners of the building (who had leased the premises to the employer), and the manufacturer of the lift. The District Court, after reviewing the pleadings, the deposition of the plaintiff, and certain exhibits, granted summary judgment to the defendants. We find no error affecting substantial rights. Cf. Jamieson v. Woodward & Lothrop, 101 U.S.App.D.C. 32, 247 F.2d 23, certiorari denied, 1957, 355 U.S. 855, 78 S.Ct. 84, 2 L.Ed.2d 63.

Affirmed.
