SUMMARY JUDGMENT – CIV.R. 56 – COMMON CARRIER – NEGLIGENCE – BREACH OF DUTY OF CARE: Where defendant, a common carrier, moved for summary judgment on plaintiff's negligence claim and satisfied its initial burden of establishing the absence of a genuine issue of material fact as to whether it breached the applicable duty of care by failing to exercise the highest degree of care for the safety of its passengers consistent with the practical operation of the system, and where plaintiff failed to meet her reciprocal burden of setting forth specific facts to show the existence of a triable issue of fact, the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to defendant.
