R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.  Case: 15-30685 Document: 00513291316 Page: 2 Date Filed: 12/02/2015 No. 15-30685 testified that she does not recall what caused her to fall. The defendant moved for summary judgment, which the district court granted, issuing a succinct but sufficiently thorough ruling that carefully examined the facts in light of Louisiana law. The court concluded, “Upon bur- den shifting to non-movant, Plaintiff falls short of carrying her burden of proof because the statute does not allow the factfinder to make inferences of the condition, but requires Plaintiff to make a positive showing. The Court con- cludes Plaintiff has failed to make a positive showing of the existence of the condition prior to the fall.” The summary judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons con- vincingly stated by the district court. 2
