, 01:54, September 1, 2007no edit summary
To obtain summary judgment, the moving party must show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgments as a matter of law. In considering a motion for summary judgment, the court will not "weigh the evidence and determine the truth of the matter." ''Id.'' at 249.
To obtain summary judgment, the moving party must show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgments as a matter of law. In considering a motion for summary judgment, the court will not "weigh the evidence and determine the truth of the matter." ''Id.'' at 249.
Although the court will view all underlying facts and inferences in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, the nonmoving party nonetheless must offer some "concrete evidence from which a reasonable juror could return a verdict in his [or her] favor." ''Id.'' at 256. The nonmoving party must satisfy this burden of proof by offering more than a mere "scintilla of evidence" in support of his or her position. ''Id.'' at 252.
