In Pinson v. Dass, Mr. Pinson filed a lawsuit against James’ client Sujan Dass, asserting a claim of negligent entrustment against Mr. Dass. After the trial court denied Mr. Dass’ motion for summary judgment, Mr. Dass requested permission to appeal the denial of his motion, and the Court of Appeals granted permission to appeal. On appeal, the Court of Appeals held that because summary judgment was proper for the driver of Mr. Dass’ vehicle, the trial court erred in denying Mr. Dass’ motion for summary judgment. The Court of Appeals reasoned that there was no evidence to link the driver’s lack of a driver’s license and/or conduct to the cause of the accident.
