1Opinion of the Court
BOYLE, District Judge:
This is an action brought under the Jones Act to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff in an automobile accident.
This cause came on for hearing January 21, 1970, on the defendant’s motion for a summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff, at the time of the injury, was not within the course of his employment, and hence has no cause of action under the Jones Act. Counsel for the parties have agreed to submit this question to the Court, there being no facts material to this issue in dispute.
