Cormier v. Willis

MCFADDEN, Judge.

This appeal is from the grant of summary judgment to a defendant in a dog-bite case. Because the evidence shows that the defendant neither owned nor kept the dog, we affirm.

Summary judgment is appropriate when no genuine issues of material fact remain and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. On appeal, we review a trial court’s grant of summary judgment de novo, construing the evidence and all inferences drawn from it in a light favorable to the nonmovant.
