Text: 6 We review a grant of summary judgment de novo and apply the same standards as the district court. See Mays v. United States, 763 F.2d 1295, 1296 (11th Cir.1985) (per curiam). Summary judgment is appropriate where the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, 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. Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 56(c). We review the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. See Brett v. Jefferson County, Georgia, 123 F.3d 1429, 1432 (11th Cir.1997). 7 To survive a motion for summary judgment, the non-movant must present evidence that there is a dispute about a genuine issue of material fact. See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 2510, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). In considering a summary judgment motion, [t]he evidence of the non-movant is to be believed, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in his favor. Id. at 255, 106 S.Ct. at 2513. The judge will deny the motion if the non-movant can show that a reasonable trier of fact might return a verdict in its favor. Id. at 248, 106 S.Ct. at 2510.
