7 Researching State Case Law & Managing Research Results Research Assignment TO: Summer Associate FROM: Senior Partner I need your help on the Johnson v. Salinas Rodeo case. Mr. Johnson, Ms. Morris, and Ms. Morris’s son, Brandon, have filed a complaint as a result of an accident that occurred during the 2011 Salinas Rodeo. Brandon was seriously injured while participating in a “mutton busting” competition during the rodeo. Mr. Johnson is Ms. Morris’s fiancé and both he and Ms. Morris were present at the time of the accident. I anticipate that the Defendants will want to challenge the validity of Mr. Johnson’s negligent infliction of emotional distress claim on the basis that Mr. Johnson was not “closely related” to Brandon Morris.mutton busting Please prepare a memo addressing this NIED elements and close relationship requirement of Mr. Johnson’s claim under CA. law. 7
