   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3966
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Torts. Where plaintiff worked as an employee of an 
   independent contractor that provided industrial cleaning for defendant and 
   was injured when he fell into a storage tank, defendant did not owe 
   plaintiff any duty of care because it did not exercise substantial control 
   over the job site or plaintiff's work activities; because defendant did 
   not retain control over the job site or manage the manner of plaintiff's 
   performance, it had no duty to warn him of potential dangers surrounding 
   the tank.
