MEMORANDUM OPINION
SMALKIN, District Judge.
In an opinion entered earlier in this case, Walsh v. Avalon Aviation, 118 F.Supp.2d 675 (D.Md.2000), this Court refused to recognize a duty on the part of landowners adjacent to an airport to prune tall trees with which a pilot collided during a faded takeoff attempt. Other defendants in the case include Potomac Airfield (or P.G. Airpark), the private, but public-use (ie., non-municipal) airport in question. Potomac has now moved for summary judgment. The motion has been fully briefed, and no oral hearing is necessary. Local Rule 105.6, D. Md.
