STEAGALL, Justice.
The plaintiff, Anthony Short, appeals from a summary judgment entered in favor of the defendants in an action alleging liability under general maritime law and under the Jones Act for injuries Short claimed to have sustained during the course of his employment with the defendants. Short argues that the trial court resolved disputed facts and made findings of fact in connection with the summary judgment and, therefore, that the trial court erred in entering the summary judgment in favor of the defendants.[1]
In its summary judgment order, the trial court stated:
We have reviewed the evidence, the trial court's order quoted above, and the arguments of the parties. The record indicates that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the defendants were entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. The trial court correctly entered the summary judgment in favor of the defendants. We adopt the trial court's order quoted above as a portion of our opinion.
Short also argues that the trial court erred in failing to provide a hearing on the summary judgment motion, in failing to give notice that it was taking the summary judgment motion under submission, and in failing to provide a hearing on post-judgment motions. However, because we have concluded that the summary judgment in this case is proper, we hold that any error committed by the trial court in this regard did not prejudice Short and was, therefore, harmless. See Rule 45, A.R.App.P.
AFFIRMED.
HORNSBY, C.J., and MADDOX, SHORES and INGRAM, JJ., concur.
