Rodriguez v. Faramarzipour
Plaintiff and appellant Brad Rodriguez, a minor, was injured when he fell in the kitchen of his family's apartment. Through a guardian ad litem, appellant sued Mansour Faramarzipour, whom he alleged to be the owner of the property, and Abe Maghen, the property manager, for negligence and premises liability,[1]claiming that his injuries resulted from respondents' negligence in failing to maintain the premises in a proper condition. At the close of trial testimony, the court granted Faramarzipour's motion for nonsuit and entered judgment in his favor. A jury subsequently found that respondent Maghen was not negligent and judgment was entered accordingly.
On this appeal, appellant argues that, on respondent Faramarzipour's motion for nonsuit, the court did not give adequate deference to appellant's evidence, improperly weighed evidence proffered by the defendant, and refused to allow appellant to reopen or amend his complaint. Appellant also contends that the trial court erred in declining to give the jury an instruction on negligence per se regarding the claim against Maghen. Court find that no error occurred and affirm the trial court's judgments.
