Granted. The district court's judgment and the decision of the court of appeal are reversed, because there remain genuine issues of material fact as to whether the defendant is liable to this plaintiff as the result of an intentional act pursuant to La. Rev. Stat. 23:1032(B). See La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 966(D)(1). The matter is remanded to the district court for further proceedings.
