ORDER

ALAIMO, Chief Judge.

Plaintiff Jimmy Hines filed the instant action under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688 (1982), to recover damages for personal injuries he received while working for Saylor Marine Corporation (“Saylor Marine”). Before this Court is defendant’s motion for summary judgment based on the contention that plaintiff is not entitled to relief under the Jones Act because he was not a “seaman” during the relevant time. Having read and considered the parties’ briefs in support of their respective positions, the Court is now prepared to rule on the summary judgment motion.
