'Can i skip transitive dependencies in spark-submit packages?

I have fat jar/Uber jar and pom in Nexus that is deployed through Jenkins CI:

Using spark-submit
--repositories myorg_repo
--packages my_fat_jar

to submit my spark application. But packages is reading the pom in Nexus and trying to download the transitive dependencies too.

Is there an option to skip the transitive dependency as it already present in the fat/Uber jar?
