Donahue v. Durfee

ORME, Judge:

Plaintiff Patrick Donahue appeals the district court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of defendants Delta Valley Foods (“DVF”), John Durfee, and Larry Howell. Donahue filed this negligence action seeking to recover damages for injuries he suffered when he contacted an electrical power line while installing a rain gutter on DVF’s warehouse. The district court concluded the power line constituted an open and obvious danger and, accordingly, DVF, Durfee, and Howell owed no duty to warn Donahue of the danger or otherwise protect him from it. We reverse and remand.
