1Opinion of the Court

BAKES, Justice.

Appellants sued, inter alia, St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center, Ltd. (St. Luke’s), for medical malpractice in the treatment of Thomas F. Sparks (Sparks). The district court granted summary judgment in favor of St. Luke’s because appellants “failed to put in the record their burden of responsibility showing controverted material facts,” and “simply because there is no credible evidence in the record which supports allegations of negligence against the hospital.” Appellants appeal, contending that genuine issues of material fact were raised. We affirm the summary judgment.
