Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
Thomas Latimer appeals a summary judgment in favor of defendants SmithKline & French Laboratories and Or-tho Consumer Products. 1 Latimer alleges that a combination of his exposure to a pesticide manufactured by Ortho and his ingestion of a prescription drug made by SmithKline caused him to sustain damages. Finding that the facts in the record do not support Latimer's causal theory, the district court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment. We agree that no genuine factual issue concerning causation is presented, and we therefore affirm.
