Heading: other grounds alleged for granting summary judgment

Text: Chevron and PPG contend that, even if res judicata does not apply, the lower courts properly granted summary judgment in their favor because they have nevertheless carried their burden of establishing PPG's right or receive all of the mineral royalties derived from Unit Tract 1. According to Chevron and PPG, they have proven the two necessary elements for entitlement to summary judgment i.e., (1) that no genuine issue of material fact exists, and (2) that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. La.Code Civ. Proc. art. 966. For the reasons set forth below, we find that Chevron and PPG have not carried their burden of showing that they are entitled to summary judgment for they have not presented proof of or legal support for these two necessary elements.
