212345P.pdf   05/10/2022  Nathan Blanton  v.  KC Southern Railway Co.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2345
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment law. Plaintiff worked for ITS, which contracted to 
   provide railcar-switching service for KCSR; he was injured when a KCSR 
   dispatcher directed his engine onto a track already occupied by stationary 
   cars; he received a workers' compensation settlement from ITS and then 
   sued KCRS, which does not have workers' compensation insurance, for the 
   dispatcher's negligence. The district court correctly determined KCSR was 
   exempt from liability under Missouri's workers' compensation law because 
   plaintiff was insured by ITS, his immediate employer - see Mo. Rev. Stat. 
   Sec. 287.040.3.
