• holding that Publix, as lessee of a store in a shopping center, had no duty to protect its invitees from third-party criminal assaults in the adjoining parking lot because Publix was not responsible for and did not control the parking lot
• reasoning that Publix did not control the parking lot because, although Publix bag carriers used 5 the parking lot and Publix previously hired security guards for the parking lot, this “limited use” did not indicate that Publix had the authority to exclude anyone from the premises
