Calantropio v. Devcon Construction CA4/3
Michael Calantropio appeals from the trial court’s entry of judgment after granting summary judgment in favor of Devcon Construction, Incorporated (Devcon), on Calantropio’s second amended complaint for negligence and premises liability. Calantropio sued Devcon for workplace injuries he suffered after falling from a ladder he placed on a piece of “cardboard” covering a hole on a jobsite at which Devcon was the general contractor. Devcon hired Calantropio’s employer as an independent contractor to perform certain work at the site. The trial court granted Devcon’s summary judgment motion under the so-called “Privette rule.” (See Privette v. Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal.4th 689 (Privette).)
