KAUGER, Justice.
The dispositive question is whether, after summary judgment was entered against Robert L.

After a careful examination of the standards enunciated in State ex rel. Burk v. Oklahoma City, 598 P.2d 659, 661 (Okla.1979) and Oliver’s Sports Center v. Nat’l Standard Ins., 615 P.2d 291, 294-95 (Okla.1982), we find that it was.
