part:
"Pursuant to K.S.A. 60-3201 et seq., this court,
upon its own motion, hereby certifies to the Kansas
Supreme Court the following questions of Kansas law,
which are deemed to be determinative of this action
and as to which no controlling precedent exists in
the decisions of the Kansas Supreme Court or Kansas
Court of Appeals:
"(1) Whether K.S.A. 36-402 abrogates the common law
liability of an innkeeper for negligence in caring
for a guest's property?
"(2) Whether the provisions of K.S.A. 36-402(b)
(dealing with the loss of sample merchandise) or
K.S.A. 36-402(c) (dealing with the loss of jewelry)
apply to the loss of sample merchandise consisting of
jewelry?
"(3)(a) If K.S.A. 36-402(b) applies, whether that
subsection imposes any affirmative duty upon the
innkeeper to ask a guest, who requests the inn to
safekeep his property without disclosing the nature
of the property, to identify the property and provide
an itemized list thereof?
(b) If K.S.A. 36-402(c) applies, whether, under
similar circumstances, that subsection imposes an
affirmative duty upon the innkeeper to (1) ask the
guest to identify the property and provide an
itemized list thereof and (2) provide the guest with
a receipt?
"(4) Whether K.S.A. 36-402 applies to limit an
innkeeper's liability for the loss of property not
belonging to a guest, when the guest fails to notify
the inn that the property belongs to another?"
