   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3687
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - Federal Employers' Liability Act. Royal, an employee of North 
   American Railway Services, an independent contractor providing maintenance 
   services to railroad companies, including Missouri & Northern Arkansas 
   Railroad Company (MNA), was injured while working for MNA. In Royal's suit 
   against MNA for damages under the Federal Employers' Liability Act and for 
   negligence under Arkansas law, the district court's grant of summary 
   judgment to MNA is affirmed. Royal was not an employee of MNA, a borrowed 
   servant, a dual servant or a subservant, as no reasonable jury could find 
   that MNA controlled or had the right to control Royal's work. MNA did not 
   have a duty to warn Royal of the well-known dangers and the negligence 
   claim fails as a matter of law.
