Description
Minor plaintiff, Erin Koukoulomatis, by her mother, appeals the denial of her request to compel discovery and the entry of a summary judgment in favor of defendant, Disco Wheels, Inc. Plaintiff originally brought suit against defendant to recover damages for personal injuries suffered when she fell while roller skating on a carpeted hallway in defendant's roller rink. On appeal, plaintiff contends that: (1) the trial court erred in denying her the opportunity to conduct discovery; (2) the trial court erred in striking her Rule 191(b) affidavit filed in opposition to defendant's summary judgment motion; (3) the trial court was improperly influenced by extraneous matters relating to plaintiff's counsel's alleged method of practice; (4) the trial court erred in relying upon an invalid deposition excerpt in reaching its summary judgment determination; and (5) the existence of genuine issues of material fact together with defendant's inability to prove that plaintiff could not prevail preclude the entry of a summary judgment. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the decision of the circuit court. In her complaint filed on March 27, 1981, plaintiff alleged that on October 14, 1979, while she was in the exercise of due care as a paying customer inside the premises of defendant's roller rink, defendant's careless and negligent acts or omissions, or both, with respect to the maintenance of the carpeted hallway in the roller rink caused her to fall and to sustain internal and external injuries.
