1Opinion of the Court
DUHÉ, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Joseph Oncale filed this suit against Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc., (“Sundowner”), John Lyons, Danny Pippen and Brandon Johnson, alleging that he had been sexually harassed during -his employment in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq. (“Title VII”). The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants and dismissed Oncale’s case. Because our decision in Garcia v. Elf Atochem No. Am., 28 F.3d 446, 451-52 (5th Cir.1994), holds that same-sex harassment is not cognizable under Title VII, we affirm.
