1Opinion of the Court
STUART, Senior District Judge.
Marvin Palmer appeals from an Order dismissing his complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and alternatively granting summary judgment under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(b). For reversal, Palmer argues that the complaint sufficiently alleges parent company liability and that the grant of summary judgment was premature.
We reverse the judgment of the District Court.
