Before GAUDIN, GRISBAUM and DUFRESNE, JJ.

GRISBAUM, Judge.

This appeal concerns a jury verdict finding defendant (merchant) not negligent in a slip and fall incident. We affirm.

ISSUE

We are called upon to determine whether the "shifting of the burden" provision in La. R.S. 9:2800.6 was triggered from the factual scenario presented, thereby causing the jury's finding of no negligence on the part of the merchant to be "clearly wrong."
