Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether or not the district court and the 7th circuit court of appeals superseded this Court's ruling in ANDERSON V LIBERTY LOBBY INC., 477 U.S. 242, 106 S.Ct 2505 (1986) holding that summary judgment is a proper venue to make credibility determinations?

Whether testimony by itself is sufficient to create issues of material fact sufficient to preclude the grant of summary judgment in the lower courts and the issue has never been addressed by this Court?
