R CURIAM
Gr
anted. G enuine issues of material fact exist which preclude summary
judgment. The district court did not err in denying defendant’s motion for partial
summary judgment.
The judgment of the court of appeal is reversed, and the judgment of the
district court is reinstated. The case is remanded to the district court for further
proceedings. The request for stay is denied as moot.
