Granted. Under the facts of this case, relator owed no duty to plaintiff, as any danger was obvious and apparent to anyone who might potentially encounter it. See Allen v. Lockwood, 14-1724 (La.2/13/15), 156 So.3d 650; Bufkin v. Felipe’s Louisiana, LLC, 14-0288 (La.10/15/14), 171 So.3d 851.

JOHNSON, C.J., would deny.
