1Opinion of the CourtThieme, J.
Thelma E. Norris, the appellant, filed a negligence suit against Ross Stores, Inc., the appellee, alleging she was injured in one of appellee’s stores. After the Circuit Court for Montgomery County entered summary judgment in favor of Ross, Norris filed this appeal.
ISSUE
Norris argues, in essence, that the trial court erred by determining that she could not rely on the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, and in therefore granting summary judgment in Ross’s favor. We shall vacate the judgment of the trial court and shall remand the case for further proceedings.
