[MAJORITY — PER CURIAM:]
PER CURIAM:
Cajun Deep Foundations, L.L.C., was awarded summary judgment on David Wedge’s Jones Act claim under 46 U.S.C § 30104 et seq. Wedge claims he showed he is entitled to seaman status. Chandris, Inc. v.

Having reviewed the briefs, the record, and the applicable law, and essentially for the reasons stated by the district court, Wedge v. Cajun Deep Foundation, L.L.C., No. 13-1257, 2014 WL 1329830 (E.D.La.2014), the judgment is AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
