Negligent Security Summary Final Summary Judgment Granted

Seminole County, Florida – Calvin Gittens and Michael W LeRoy, after multiple years of highly contentious litigation, inclusive of an interlocutory appeal, obtained Final Summary Judgment on behalf of our client, a large national movie theater chain, in a case in which the plaintiff alleged that she sustained significant permanent physical and emotional distress damages of $1 million or more as a result of our client failing to have, in place, proper safety and security protocol in place when a shooting incident occurred near our client’s leased property in a shopping mall parking lot.  After considering the sworn deposition testimony of dozens of witnesses and over 15,000 pages of evidentiary exhibits which had become part of the clerk’s official record, the court concluded that our client did not breach any duties which were, or may have been, owed to the plaintiff and was not negligent or liable to the plaintiff and, in turn, granted our Motion for Final Summary Judgment in favor of our client.
