1Opinion of the Court
BARNES, J., FOR THE COURT:
¶ 1. Wayne Booth appeals the Circuit Court of Jones County's grant of summary judgment to Southern Hens Inc. Booth was a truck driver employed by Whitestone Trucking, which was an independent-contract hauler for products made by Southern Hens. Booth sued Southern Hens for negligence, gross negligence, and failure to supervise for injuries stemming from a horseplaying incident where an employee of Southern Hens "bear hugged" Booth and threw him into some pallets at work. Finding no error, we affirm the circuit court's judgment.
