KATZMANN, Circuit Judge:
George Mooney, plaintiff-appellant, appeals from the amended judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Lewis A. Kap-lan, Judge), granting summary judgment in favor of the City of New York (the “City”), defendant-appellee. The district court held that an award of workers’ compensation benefits constituted a waiver of a Jones Act claim.
