Shari I. HOWARD, Plaintiff−Appellant, v. LOWE’S HOME CENTERS, L.L.C., Doing Business as Lowe’s; Lowe’s Companies, Incorporated, Doing Business as Lowe’s; Lowe’s Home Centers, Incorporated, Doing business as Lowe’s, Defendants−Appellees.
Shari Howard, pro se in the district court and on appeal, sued the Lowe’s defendants, under various theories of state and federal law, to recover damages arising out of two separate disputes: (1) a broken Whirlpool refrigerator and (2) the denial of a prepaid-account discount. The district court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, explaining its decision in a thorough and well-reasoned eighteen-page order entered January 26, 2019.
The district court carefully explained why, under applicable state and federal law and the facts in the summary judgment record, each of Howard’s theories and claims is without merit. It would accomplish little for us to copy and repeat the court’s convincing disposition of this matter. The summary judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons given by the district court.
