Opinion

[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ FILED No. 05-11426 U.S. COURT OF Non-Argument Calendar APPEALS ________________________ ELEVENTH CIRCUIT JULY 14, 2005 D. C. Docket No. 03-00246-CV-4 THOMAS K. KAHN CLERK LINDA L. HIOTT, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus WAL-MART STORES, INC., Defendant-Appellee.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia _________________________ (July 14, 2005)

Before BIRCH, BARKETT and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Plaintiff Linda L. Hiott appeals the judgment of the district court, arguing that the district court erred in granting Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment. We agree with the district court that even if we assume the stacked pictures that injured Plaintiff presented a hazard, there is no evidence that the Defendant had superior knowledge of the hazard. See Metts v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 604 S.E.2d 235, 237 (Ga. Ct. App. 2004); Foodmax v. Fleming, 465 S.E.2d 489, 490 (Ga. Ct. App. 1995). The judgment of the district court is, therefore, AFFIRMED.
