Nickelson v. Mall of America Co.

OPINION

SCHUMACHER, Judge

Nickelson challenges the district court’s summary judgment dismissing her negligence claim against respondent Mall of America Company. Nickelson argues that Mall of America assumed a duty to protect its tenants’ employees by hiring a security force and by informing tenants that the security guards would intervene in ongoing physical altercations. Nickelson also argues that the tenant operational handbook and the mall safety and security handbook created a contractual duty to protect the tenants’ employees. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
