Cindy DUNN v. CIRCLE K STORES, INC. #7748
Writ application denied.
I would grant the defendant's application, because I find no genuine issue of material fact exists in this slip and fall case. See La. R.S. 9:2800.6. As a result, under La. C.C.P. art. 966(H), I would assign the case for briefing, thereby permitting the parties an opportunity to request oral argument. See, e.g., Coats v. Broadwall Mgmt. Corp., 20-0464 (La. 9/8/20), 301 So. 3d 18 (Crichton, J., dissenting from writ denial and finding no genuine issue of material fact); Minix v. Pilot Travel Centers, LLC, 19-1074 (La. 10/8/19), 280 So. 3d 149 (same); James v. St. Martin Parish Gov't, 19-0013 (La. 2/25/19), 264 So. 3d 436 (same); Sylvester v. Odom, 14-2708 (La. 4/17/15), 165 So. 3d 70 (same).
Crichton, J., would grant and assigns reasons.
