Dolgencorp, LLC v. Patsy Payton

Summary

The court held that Payton failed to produce sufficient evidence that Carpet Fresh powder had remained on the store floor long enough to give Dolgencorp constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. Her inference that the powder was present before she entered the store did not establish a minimum duration because she fell less than a minute after entering. The court therefore reversed the denial of summary judgment and rendered judgment for Dolgencorp.
