Text: [¶ 39] Lee's final argument is LPP had an affirmative obligation to show by admissible evidence the absence of any issues of material fact and that it was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Lee cites to W.R.C.P 56(e), which requires that affidavits must be made on personal knowledge and must set forth facts as would be admissible in evidence, showing affirmatively that the affiant is competent to testify to the matters stated in the affidavit. She argues that LPP's supporting affidavit was comprised of hearsay, was conclusory, was without personal knowledge, was without foundation, and did not explain even the most basic facts, such as the amount of the debt. [¶ 40] However, there simply is nothing in the supporting materials to substantiate Lee's claims of fraud, illegality, and mistake. This lack of supporting material creates in itself an absence of issues of material fact. We therefore conclude that the trial court was correct in granting summary judgment to LPP and denying Lee's motion for summary judgment.
