KING, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs-appellants appeal from the district court’s grant of summary judgment to defendants on plaintiffs’ claims of negligence in relation to an on-the-job blasting accident. We grant defendants’ motion to substitute the Tennessee Valley Authority as the defendant pursuant to the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act and hold that the Tennessee Valley Authority is immune from suit because of the exclusive remedy provision of the Federal Employees Compensation Act.
I
Plaintiffs-appellants, Jerry Lunsford, Ricky Duncan, deceased, and Phillip Kirk,…
