No. 80-1752.
May 19, 1981.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Rhea P. Grossman, J.
James A. McSwigan, Palm Beach, Edna L. Caruso, West Palm Beach, for appellants.
Preddy, Kutner Hardy and G. William Bissett, Miami, for appellees.
Before HUBBART, C.J., and SCHWARTZ and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.
The plaintiff was a guest at the Fountainebleau Hotel. He was injured when a taxicab he was entering at the front of the hotel, 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.
