Hunt v. DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

RICHARD W. ROBERTS, District Judge.

Plaintiff Marla Hunt sued DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. (“DePuy”), manufacturer of her prosthetic hip, for breach of implied warranties, breach of express warranty, and replevin. DePuy filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted with respect to all of Hunt’s claims except for replevin, and now moves again for summary judgment on the replevin claim. Because Hunt’s abandonment of the prosthetic hip components is a complete defense to her replevin claim, DePuy’s motion for summary judgment will be granted.
