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.
