Before LOTTINGER, COLE and CARTER, JJ.


COLE, Judge.

This personal injury suit involves a slip and fall accident which occurred in the J.C. Penney store in Hammond, Louisiana. The trial court rendered a judgment in favor of plaintiff, and defendants Penney and its insurer have taken a suspensive appeal. We reverse.

The determining issue is whether or not the plaintiff proved by a preponderance of the evidence the existence of a premises hazard which was responsible for plaintiff's fall.
