Text: [I]t is well settled that an appellate tribunal may affirm a trial court's judgment on any ground supported by the record. Lee v. Kemna, 534 U.S. 362, 391, 122 S.Ct. 877, 151 L.Ed.2d 820 (2002). In determining whether a district court properly granted summary judgment, this Court must review the record under the same standards that guided the district court. Little v. Liquid Air Corp., 952 F.2d 841, 847 (5th Cir.1992). We must review the evidence, as well as the inferences that may be drawn from the evidence, in the light most favorable to the party that opposed the motion for summary judgment. Id. The court shall grant summary judgment 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). [1]
