Coombs v. J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc.

CLIFF HOOFMAN, Judge.

11 David Coombs appeals from a summary judgment in favor of appellees J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. (JBH), Rich Allens-worth, and Mark Emerson, arguing that material issues of fact remain on his claims for invasion of privacy, outrage, negligent retention, and wrongful discharge. We agree that reversal is warranted on the invasion-of-privacy claim and on the question of whether JBH may be held vicariously liable for Allensworth’s and Emerson’s actions. We affirm the remainder of the summary-judgment order.
