Text: A district court’s grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo. Johnson v. Econ. Dev. Corp., 241 F.3d 501, 509 (6th Cir.2001). Summary judgment is proper “if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). “A ‘genuine issue of material fact’ is one which, if proven at trial, would result in a reasonable jury finding for the non-moving party.” Doren v. Battle Creek Health Sys., 187 F.3d 595, 597 (6th Cir.1999) (citing Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247–48 (1986)). To survive summary judgment, the non-moving party must present probative evidence. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249-50. All justifiable inferences are to be drawn in the non-moving party’s favor. Id. at 255. The trial court must not weigh the evidence and determine the truth, but simply determine whether there is a genuine issue for trial. Id. at 249.
