JCRCP 56(c) states in relevant part that “[t]he judgment sought shall be rendered
forthwith if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file,
together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and
that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” The party moving for
summary judgment bears the initial burden or production to show the absence of a genuine issue
of material fact. Cuzze v. University & Comm. College System of Nevada, 172 P.3d 131 (Nev.
2007).

When a summary judgment motion is made, all of the opposing party’s statements must
be accepted as true, all reasonable inferences that can be drawn from the evidence must be
admitted, and the trial court cannot decide issues of credibility based upon the evidence
submitted in the motion. Pegasus v. Reno Newspapers, Inc., 118 Nev. 706, 713, 57 P.3d 82, 87
(Nev. 2002). In deciding whether summary judgment is appropriate, the evidence must be
viewed in the light most favorable to the party against whom summary judgment is sought, and
the factual allegations, evidence, and all reasonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party
must be presumed correct. See NGA #2 Ltd. Liability Co. v. Rains, 113 Nev. 1151, 1157, 946
P.2d 163, 167 (Nev. 1997).

In the present case, there is a genuine issue of material fact, specifically:
