Decided: November 8, 2017 ORDER Upon Defendant Pneumo Abex’s Motion for Summary Judgment . GRANTED.

Plaintiff, George Murphy Sr., (“Plaintiff”) cannot satisfy the summary judgment criteria. [1] Plaintiff filed suit against numerous Defendants claiming that his wife, Mary Murphy (“Ms. Murphy”) contracted lung cancer from asbestos incorporated in Defendant Pneumo Abex’s (“Abex”) product. Plaintiff contends that Ms. Murphy was secondarily exposed to asbestos from washing Plaintiff’s dusty clothes and assisting Plaintiff while he was performing brake jobs. Summary *2 judgement is appropriate in this matter because there is no evidence of decedent, Mary Murphy’s, specific exposure to Abex’s product. Accordingly, Abex’s Motion for Summary Judgment is hereby GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
