1Opinion of the Court

*822BENTON, Circuit Judge.

In this diversity case, Dana Lynn Wolf-ley sued Solectron USA, Inc. for negligence (and his spouse sued for loss of consortium). After an ice storm, Wolfley was injured by a slip and fall at Solectron’s facility in Creedmoor, North Carolina. The district court1 granted summary judgment to Solectron. Applying North Carolina law, the court concluded Solectron had no duty to warn Wolfley of the open and obvious hazard of which he was at least equally aware. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
