n Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, Fifth Circuit, Parish of Jefferson
PER CURIAM
Plaintiff’s writ application is granted , and the lower courts’ grant
of summary judgment in favor of Perrone & Sons, LLC (“Perrone”) is reversed for
the reasons assigned by Judge Wicker in her dissent. There are questions of material
fact as to whether the defendant, Andrew Michael Thornton, was within the course
and scope of his employment at Perrone at the time of the motor vehicle accident ;
thus, summary judgment is precluded.
