Text: Appellee, Mercer Transportation Co. (“Mercer”) brought a lawsuit against appellant, Greentree Transportation Co. (“Greentree”) seeking compensation for the contents of a tractor-trailer truck which were damaged in a one-vehicle accident. The district court granted summary judgment for Mercer, concluding that Greentree was liable for the damage because its placards and other identification were displayed on the truck at the time of the accident. The district court concluded that the liability issue was controlled by this court’s holding in Rodriguez v. Ager, 705 F.2d 1229 (10th Cir. 1983). The district court also granted summary judgment to Mercer on the issue of damages. Greentree then brought this appeal. Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we -2- reverse the grant of summary judgment on liability and vacate the district court’s order granting summary judgment on damages.
