PER CURIAM:
              Case: 16-12019     Date Filed: 03/01/2017   Page: 2 of 2

      After reviewing the parties’ briefs and the record, we affirm the district

court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee NCL

(Bahamas), Ltd. on plaintiff-appellant Valierie Miller’s negligence action under

federal maritime law for the reasons outlined in the district court’s thorough and

well-reasoned discussion of the duty owed by the ship to Ms. Miller as well as the

open and obvious nature of the danger presented.

      AFFIRMED.

                                          2
