No. 12731.

407 So.2d 514 (1981)

Wanda JOHNSON v. NEW ORLEANS PUBLIC SERVICE, INC.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

November 30, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jack Dunn, Dunn & Rasch, Ltd., Metairie, for plaintiff-appellant.

A. R. Christovich, Jr., New Orleans, for defendant-appellee.

Before REDMANN, SCHOTT and KLEES, JJ.


SCHOTT, Judge.

This is a suit by Wanda Johnson against New Orleans Public Service, Inc. for damages from a bruise she allegedly sustained when her foot was pushed by an opening door on a bus into the front wall of the bus as she was preparing to make her exit. The issue is whether the trial judge failed to make a proper assignment of burden of proof in the case and whether defendant's evidence was sufficient to exculpate itself from liability.
