Heading: Appellant's Point I:

Text: I. Summary judgment is a drastic remedy and may be granted only when no material issue of fact is present. There is no good purpose to be served in our discussing the cases cited by appellant in support of his first proposition. We agree with the doctrine absolutely. Especially is it true that summary judgment will not often be granted in a negligence case. Forbes Company, Inc. v. MacNeel, Wyo., 382 P.2d 56, 57 (1963). Nevertheless, the counter-affidavits of the appellant were insufficient to make up an issue of material fact and therefore the entry of the summary judgment was proper. We said in Guggenmos v. Tom Searl-Frank McCue, Inc., Wyo., 481 P.2d 48, 52 (1971), that where there are no material facts in dispute a summary judgment should be entered. This is the law  even in a negligence case.
