Heading: whether the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of defendant moose lodge

Text: Crain asserts that as a business invitee, the Moose Lodge owed him the duty to keep its premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn him of any dangerous conditions which existed and were reasonably discoverable. He contends that the Moose Lodge breached that duty by failing to provide adequate security measures in the parking lot to protect its patrons. Thus he argues, based on the crimes reported in the neighborhood, that the Moose Lodge should have foreseen some injury resulting from its alleged negligence. Finally, he urges this Court to reject the prior similar incidents rule and adopt the totality of the circumstances test for admissibility of evidence under Miss.R.Evid. 401 and 402. Moose Lodge, on the other hand, contends that because there was no evidence of prior similar incidents on its premises, Crain's injuries, as a matter of law, were not reasonably foreseeable.
