PER CURIAM.

Minor Gomez, plaintiff below, appeals a summary judgment in favor of defendant Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc., in an action under the Jones Act. We conclude that, construed in the light most favorable to plaintiff, the facts do not make out a continuing tort, see Fowkes v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 264 F.2d 397, 398 (3d Cir. 1959); Seaboard Air Line R. Co. v. Holt, 92 So.2d 169, 170 (Fla. 1956) (FELA action), nor was there negligent reassignment.

Affirmed.
