Hasten-Golston v. City of San Diego
While sitting atop a concrete platform in Swan Canyon in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego, plaintiffs Ricky Hasten-Golston (Hasten) and Bryant Byrd, Jr., (Byrd) (together Plaintiffs) were shot and injured by an unidentified male assailant. Plaintiffs asserted premises liability claims against defendant City of San Diego (City) for a dangerous condition of public property and against defendants LB One, LLC (LLC) and Loc Nguyen Corp., dba Payless Property Management (Payless) (together LB One) for negligence. Plaintiffs appeal from summary judgments in favor of the City and LB One (together Defendants).
On appeal, the parties present various arguments on numerous issues associated with the claims raised in the summary judgment motions. The trial court correctly ruled that Plaintiffs did not meet their burden of establishing a triable issue of material fact as to causation, and resolution of that issue is dispositive of the appeal. The Court affirm.
