1Opinion of the Court

KITE, Chief Justice.

[¶1] Michael Van Patten was injured while working on a drilling rig. He filed suit against several of his co-employees, including Corby Gipson, John Sharisky and Mike Wix-om, claiming their willful and wanton misconduct caused his injuries. The district court held as a matter of law that the co-employees' acts or omissions were not willfal and wanton and granted their motion for summary judgment. Mr. Van Patten appeals, claiming there were genuine issues of material fact precluding summary judgment. We affirm.
