Volunteer not liable when lantern falls

When a dancer at an event hosted by a nonprofit organization in a city facility was injured by a lantern that had been hung by a volunteer fell from the ceiling, she sued the volunteer and the city for her injuries. The Supreme Court of Alaska has affirmed a trial court decision granting summary judgment to dismiss the city and a jury decision finding that the volunteer was not negligent.  Strangely, the injured woman had not sued the nonprofit organization for which the volunteer was working.
