Text: We review grants of summary judgment de novo, applying the same standard that the District Court applied. Union Pac. R.R. v. Greentree Transp. Trucking Co., 293 F.3d 120, 125 (3d Cir. 2002). Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 56(c), summary judgment should be granted only where the “pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 325 (1986). When considering a motion for summary judgment, a court must view all evidence in favor of the non-moving party. Bixler v. Cent. Pa. Teamsters Health & Welfare Fund, 12 F.3d 1292, 1297 (3d Cir. 1993). Accordingly, all doubts must be resolved in favor of the non-moving party. Meyer v. Riegel Prods. Corp., 720 F.2d 303, 307 (3d Cir. 1983). To challenge successfully a motion for summary judgment, the non-moving party must be able to produce evidence that “could be the basis for a jury finding in that party’s favor.” Kline v. First W. Gov’t Sec., 24 F.3d 480, 485 (3d Cir. 1994).
