Outcome
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Union Pacific Railroad Company on Holloway's Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) negligence claim, finding that the employer could not have foreseen the plaintiff's back injury because the plaintiff acted on his own initiative without being directed to move the generator unsafely.
