PER CURIAM:

This is a Mississippi products liability case. Federal jurisdiction is grounded in diversity of citizenship. On appellee's motion, the District Court granted summary judgment at the close of appellant's case on the ground, among others,1 that Mississippi recognizes no cause of action where an alleged defect did not cause the occurrence but merely allowed the injurious consequences to take effect.2
