2008First, the record refutes plaintiffs’ assertion that defendants undertook a duty to protect people on Navistar’s premises from injury or death due to violent criminal attacks by third parties. “[U]nder the voluntary undertaking doctrine of liability, the duty of care to be imposed upon the defendant is limited to the extent of the undertaking.” Castro v.

Plaintiffs' arguments, however, are not persuasive. 8 1-06-2009 & 1-06-2126 (cons.)
