Text: We review rulings on motions for summary judgment de novo. Shaw Constructors v. ICF Kaiser Eng'rs, Inc., 395 F.3d 533, 538 (5th Cir.2004). A party is entitled to summary judgment only if the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R.Civ.P. 56(c). When cross-motions for summary judgment have been filed, this court determines whether a genuine issue of material fact exists or whether one party is entitled to prevail as a matter of law. Shaw Constructors, 395 F.3d at 539. If the unsuccessful party below is entitled to prevail as a matter of law, this court will enter judgment for that party. Id. at 539 n. 9.
