Defendants seek summary judgment on each of plaintiff's claims.
The party seeking summary judgment has the initial burden of demonstrating through the evidentiary materials that there is no actual dispute as to any material fact in the case. In determining whether this burden has been met, the court should view the evidence introduced and all factual inferences from that evi-dence in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, supra, at 322. The summary judgment procedure does not authorize trial by affidavit. Credibility determinations, the weighing of the evidence, and the drawing of legitimate inferences from the facts are jury functions, not those of a judge, whether he is ruling on a motion for summary judgment or for a directed verdict.
