Syllabus

Motion for summary judgment, Civ.R. 56(C), negligence, hazardous condition, motion in limine, Civ.R. 26(B)(7)(e), harmless error. Court did not err in granting defendants-appellees' motions for summary judgment concerning plaintiff-appellant's slip-and-fall negligence claims. Undisputed evidence, including security video, demonstrated that the floor mat on which plaintiff-appellant fell did not constitute a hazard. Plaintiff-appellant did not demonstrate that prejudice resulted from any error in denying a motion in limine regarding an expert report that one defendant-appellee disclosed only after deposing plaintiff-appellant's expert. That expert report was not included among the summary-judgment evidence, which the court did not err in granting.
