MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
This action for personal injuries and damages is before this Court on Motion of defendant Hess Oil Virgin Islands Corp. (“HOVIC”) for Partial Judgment on the Pleadings or, In the Alternative for Partial Summary Judgment. The sole issue sub judice is whether HOVIC is a seller of a chattel in this instance; and may thus be held on a strict liability theory under Restatement (Second) of Torts § 402A (1977). The Court finds that HOVIC is not a seller in the context of this action. Accordingly, HOVIC’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment will be granted.
