Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David Nelmark and Samantha Gronewald, Judges. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (6 pages)
Nicolas Aragon Jr. and Regina Ward appeal a grant of summary judgment for the defendants. They allege the district court erred in dismissing (1) their negligence claim because Aragon was a trespasser and (2) the breach-of-contract claim because the plaintiffs did not have third-party beneficiary rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because the record demonstrates Aragon was a trespasser and the plaintiffs did not have third-party beneficiary rights, we affirm.
