   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1508
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Hannibal   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Smith and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Torts. In a negligence action by truck driver who was injured 
   when shrink-wrapped pallets fell on his ankle, the district court did not 
   err in granting summary judgment for defendants as the defect which caused 
   the injury - the absence of securing devices - was open and obvious to the 
   driver; under the applicable safety regulations, the carrier, rather than 
   defendants, had the duty to secure the cargo.
