Heading: DISCUSSION Summary Judgment Standard of Review

Text: This Court reviews the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo. Universal Health Servs., Inc. v. Thompson, 363 F.3d 1013, 1019 (9th Cir.2004). [R]eview is governed by the same standard used by the trial court under Federal Civil Rule 56(c). Adcock v. Chrysler Corp., 166 F.3d 1290, 1292 (9th Cir.1999). This Court must determine, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, whether there are any genuine issues of material fact and whether the district court correctly applied the relevant substantive law. Universal Health Servs., 363 F.3d at 1019 (internal quotation marks omitted). When the underlying facts are not in dispute, the court's only function is to determine whether the district court correctly applied the law. Id. The Szajers argued below that the affidavit for the search warrant omitted material information that misled the magistrate, and had the magistrate been provided this information, he would not have authorized the search. On appeal, the Szajers challenge the decision of the district court, alleging: (1) the district court disregarded an exception to the Heck doctrine; and (2) this lawsuit is not a direct challenge to the state court convictions.
