Text: 5 Case: 10-40843 Document: 00511770597 Page: 6 Date Filed: 02/28/2012 This court reviews de novo a district court’s dismissal of a complaint on a motion for summary judgment. Berquist v. Wash. Mut. Bank, 500 F.3d 344, 348 (5th Cir. 2007); Cousin v. Small, 325 F.3d 627, 637 (5th Cir. 2003). The magistrate judge should construe “all facts and inferences in the light most favorable” to the prisoner. Dillon v. Rogers, 596 F.3d 260, 266 (5th Cir. 2010) (citation omitted). The magistrate judge may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence in granting summary judgment. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255 (1986); Cook v. Miss. Dep’t of Human Servs., 108 F. App’x. 852, 856 (5th Cir. 2004). A genuine factual dispute will preclude a grant of summary judgment. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 242; see also Bowden v. City of Electra, 152 F. App’x. 363, 368 (5th Cir. 2005) (observing that the evidence must be believable by a reasonable trier of fact).
