Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit August 21, 1997, No. 95-60668 (Hill v. International Paper Co.)

RHESA HAWKINS BARKSDALE, Circuit Judge:

Primarily at issue is the duty owed, under Mississippi law, by a premises owner to an independent contractor for a dangerous condition on the premises. Plaintiff-appellee Andres Hill contends that the duty, in regards to all invitees, is singular: to maintain reasonably safe premises. Based on this theory, as enunciated in Tharp v. Bunge Corp., 641 So.
