VICTOR R. JUBRAN,
Appellant,
v.
SOUTH LANE DISTRIBUTION
CENTER, LLC,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Kevin Blazs, Judge.

PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Victor R. Jubran, appeals an order granting final
summary judgment in favor of Appellee, South Lane Distribution
Center, LLC. Appellant, who alleged below that Appellee was
negligent in the handling of its fencing in which he was injured
and that Appellee failed to warn of the fence’s dangers, argues that
issues of material fact remain that preclude summary judgment.
We agree that disputed material facts remain as to whether there
was a fence on the border of Appellee’s property at some point in
time and whether Appellee was responsible for taking it down and
leaving a portion of it on the ground where Appellant fell.
Accordingly, we reverse the order granting summary judgment
and remand for further proceedings. See Pickford v. Taylor Cnty.
Sch. Dist., 298 So. 3d 707, 710 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020) (noting that an
appellate court reviews a trial court’s grant of summary judgment
under the de novo standard of review to ascertain whether there
are any genuine issues of material fact and that the court must
view the evidence and draw all inferences in the light most
favorable to the non-moving party); see also Williams v. Davis, 974
So. 2d 1052, 1060 (Fla. 2007) (explaining that numerous Florida
cases have held that landowners were “responsible under a
standard of reasonable care for conditions emanating from their
property that were determined to constitute a danger and hazard
to others”).
REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings.
LEWIS, TANENBAUM, and LONG, JJ., concur.
