ORDER

DANIEL P. JORDAN III, District Judge.

This personal-injury action is before the Court on Nissan North America, Inc.’s (“Nissan”) Motion for Summary Judgment [37], pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. After considering the parties’ submissions and hearing oral argument, the Court concludes that Plaintiff Kenyatta I. Patton has failed to establish that Nissan owed him a duty of care or that Nissan’s alleged conduct proximately caused his injuries. Nissan’s Motion for Summary Judgment [37] is therefore granted, and this action is due to be dismissed.1
