Text: [1,2] An appellate court affirms a lower court’s grant of summary judgment if the pleadings and admitted evidence show that there is no genuine issue as to any material facts or as to the ultimate inferences that may be drawn from the facts and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Lassalle v. State, 307 Neb. 221, 948 N.W.2d 725 (2020). An appellate court reviews the district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo, viewing the record in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and drawing all reasonable inferences in that party’s favor. Id. [3] Statutory interpretation presents a question of law that an appellate court resolves independently of the trial court. Seivert v. Alli, 309 Neb. 246, 959 N.W.2d 777 (2021).
