            The estate of Charlotte Anderson appeals the order granting summary judgment on a wrongful death claim in favor of Lindsay Arndt.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the evidence shows Lindsay Arndt had transferred her right or interest to the vehicle that struck and killed Charlotte Anderson, she cannot be held vicariously liable for the negligence acts of its driver as a matter of law.
