Heading: whether the chancellor erred in granting life's motion for summary judgment.

Text: ¶ 6. Bullock contends that summary judgment was improper because (1) triable issues of fact existed; and (2) the chancellor improperly made credibility determinations in granting summary judgment. We employ a de novo standard of review of a trial court's grant or denial of a summary judgment and examine all the evidentiary matters before itadmissions in pleadings, answers to interrogatories, depositions, affidavits, etc. The evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the party against whom the motion has been made. If, in this view, there is no genuine issue of material fact, and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, summary judgment should forthwith be entered for the movant. Otherwise, the motion should be denied. Hurdle v. Holloway, 848 So.2d 183, 185 (Miss. 2003) (citing Heigle v. Heigle, 771 So.2d 341, 345 (Miss.2000)).
