Appeal from the United States District Court

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The plaintiff suffered a slip-and-fall in a Wal-Mart store during a
rainstorm. In her resulting lawsuit, the district court granted summary
judgment for Wal-Mart because she could not show any evidence that WalMart either created or had actual or constructive knowledge of the condition
that caused her injury, as is required under Louisiana negligence law. We

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
