Facts
Minor Carlos Salazar, by and through his Guardian ad Litem, Ana Salazar, sued Long Beach Unified School District, in connection with a trip and fall incident.
Contentions
PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: The minor plaintiff allegedly tripped and fell over a sprinkler owned and controlled by LBUSD. The minor plaintiff was injured and sued defendant for premises liability.
DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: The district denied any liability for minor's alleged injuries because it neither owned nor controlled the subject sprinkler. Rather, the City of Long Beach owned and controlled it, and therefore, the district moved for a judgment as a matter of law.
Result
The court granted the school district's unopposed motion for judgment. The matter was taken off calendar and settled.
