Andrews v. Aurora Charter Oak Hosp.
Plaintiffs Leslie Andrews and Holly Fallon appeal from a summary judgment in favor of defendant Aurora Charter Oak Hospital in a lawsuit alleging the wrongful death of their 18-year-old son, Eric Andrews. The trial court denied a motion to continue the summary judgment motion because plaintiffs failed to specify what admissible evidence they expected to be able to obtain if the continuance were granted. The trial court granted the summary judgment motion because plaintiffs failed to produce admissible evidence showing the existence of triable issues of material fact concerning plaintiffs’ claims that the hospital was vicariously liable for the negligence of the attending physician, Dr. Gillespie, and that the hospital was liable for negligent hiring or supervision of its staff.
We will affirm the judgment.
