Revision as of 00:04, January 3, 2008
, 00:04, January 3, 2008The Williams dissented. I find that amusing.
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.
