1Opinion of the Court
ERVIN, Chief Judge:
Gary E. Ramey (“Ramey”) and his wife, Amanda C. Ramey, appeal from orders of summary judgment in favor of Quinten Rix, Ramey’s supervisor, and Martin-Baker Aircraft Co., Ltd. (“Martin-Baker”), the manufacturer of an aircraft component Ra-mey believes injured him through its defective design. The district court held Rix immune from suit under a provision of the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Act, Md. Ann.Code art. 101, § 58 (1985). The court also held that the military contractor defense insulated Martin-Baker from liability. We affirm.
