Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the district court and court of appeals have effectively abrogated this Court's binding precedent for reviewing a motion for summary judgment—whether the evidence, considered in a light most favorable to the non-movant and with all justifiable inferences drawn in his favor, creates a genuine issue of material fact—by applying numerous tests and standards that obfuscate Petitioner's ultimate burden and deprive him of the opportunity to make his case?
