Sales v. Peabody

J. JONES, Justice.

Tracy Sales brought suit against spa owner Stacie Peabody, claiming that she contracted a toe infection as a result of a pedicure performed at the spa. The district court granted summary judgment against Sales after concluding that she had failed to present sufficient evidence of causation. The district court also denied Sales’ motion for reconsideration based on the ground that she had not adequately alleged the theory of negligence she relied on in support of that motion. Sales timely appealed to this Court.
