Plaintiffs-Appellants,
v
No. 194367
Oakland Circuit Court
LC No. 95-497333 NO
SHERR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION,
Defendant-Appellee.
Before: O’Connell, P.J., and White and C. F. Youngblood*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Plaintiffs appeal as of right from the summary dismissal of their premises liability action pursuant
to MCR 2.116(C)(10). We affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to
MCR 7.214(E).
The trial court properly granted summary disposition where the photographs in the record reveal
that the danger associated with the handicap access ramp was open and obvious and that the
configuration of the ramp did not create an unreasonable risk of harm for a casual observant user of
average intelligence exercising due care for his or her own safety. Bertrand v Alan Ford, Inc, 449
Mich 606, 621; 537 NW2d 185 (1995); Novotney v Burger King Corp (On Remand), 198 Mich
App 470, 475; 499 NW2d 379 (1993).
Affirmed.
