1Opinion of the Court
LOBRANO, Judge.
Keith Patrick Landry (Landry) brought suit against the Board of Commissioners of the Orleans Levee District (Levee Board) seeking damages for injuries he sustained when, after ascending the Lake Poncha-train seawall, he lost his balance and fell while trying to avoid stepping into a partially hidden hole adjacent to the seawall. The lower court found the Levee Board to be strictly liable, but reduced the amount of the award by two-thirds, attributing that amount of fault to Landry.
Both parties have appealed. We find it unnecessary to consider all of the various issues raised…
