USDC No. 4:12-CV-2848

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

district court’s summary judgment dismissing their negligence claims and the 

district court’s directed verdict for United Continental Holdings, Inc. 

(“United”) on their intentional infliction of emotion distress and invasion of 

privacy claims, all arising out of an incident where a sex toy was purportedly 

taped to the outside of their luggage. On appeal, we have reviewed the record

and studied the briefs. We have concluded, in the light of our precedents, that 

the district court did not err when it dismissed the Plaintiffs’ negligence claims, 

nor did it err when it entered a directed verdict for United on the Plaintiffs’ 

invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. 

Accordingly, the judgement of the district court is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
