Louisiana Court of Appeal · decided 1980-01-21

Decided 1980-01-21

PONDER, Judge.

¶1Plaintiff appealed from a judgment denying recovery in a tort suit against executive officers.

¶2The issues are:, breach of duty by the executive officers and the contributory negligence of the plaintiff.

¶3We affirm.

¶4Plaintiff while transporting two scaffold boards stood in the back of the truck holding the boards while another man drove the pickup truck. The boards dragged on the ground and plaintiff fell from the truck and suffered injuries.

¶5The trial court found that the driver’s actions did not cause the harm to plaintiff; that another defendant was not an executive officer; that a third defendant was an executive officer who had breached a duty to plaintiff to warn against unsafe practices, but that plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence.

¶6The trial court in detailed written reasons for judgment analyzed the facts of the case and correctly applied the law. We find no manifest error therein.

¶7The judgment of the trial court is affirmed at appellant’s costs.

¶8AFFIRMED.
