Text: The appellants next allege that the district court erred in sustaining Miller's motion for summary judgment because genuine issues of material fact remain for trial. Neb. Rev.Stat. § 25-1332 (Reissue 1995) states in pertinent part that a motion for summary judgment shall be rendered forthwith if the pleadings, depositions, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. This section has been construed to mean that if the moving party submits an affidavit as to a material fact, and that fact is not contradicted by the adverse party, the court will determine that there is no issue as to that fact. Raskey v. Michelin Tire Corp., 223 Neb. 520, 391 N.W.2d 123 (1986).
