398 So. 2d 490; 1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 19864 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Finley v. Fountainebleau Hotel Corp.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff was a guest at the Foun-tainebleau Hotel. He was injured when a taxicab he was entering at the front of the *491hotel, which had been summoned by a Fountainebleau employee, prematurely started before he had seated himself. We agree with the trial court that, as a matter of law, the hotel bore no liability for the accident. See, Jackson v. Pike, 87 So.2d 410 (Fla. 1956); Foley v. Hialeah Race Course, Inc., 53 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1951). The summary judgment entered in its favor below is therefore

Affirmed.
