Gale v. Hashemi CA2/5
Plaintiff Maria Gale appeals from a judgment entered following an order granting summary judgment. Plaintiff sued her landlord, defendant Masih Hashemi, for negligence. Plaintiff and Richard Seff were defendant’s tenants—plaintiff lived in the main house and Seff in the adjacent guest house. Plaintiff was injured as a result of Seff’s assault and battery. Plaintiff alleged defendant was responsible for her injuries because defendant knew Seff was dangerous and failed to take any action to prevent him from acting out.
Defendant moved for summary judgment pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 437c. Defendant asserted he had no duty to protect plaintiff from unforeseen criminal conduct. We agree with defendant and affirm the judgment.
