ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
TACHA, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs' negligence claims against the government arose when one of their number placed in their campfire a live 40mm helicopter-launched anti-personnel grenade that one of them found while they were camping on government land. The district court granted the government summary judgment based on the superseding intervention of the party who placed the grenade in the fire. We AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the district court.
The Honorable Howard C. Bratton, Senior United States District Judge for the District of New Mexico, sitting by designation
This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir.R. 36.3
