Text: ¶ 18 Summary judgment is appropriate only if there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and ... the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Utah R. Civ. P. 56(c). Because we resolve only legal issues in reviewing a summary judgment, we give no deference to the [district] court's view of the law; we review it for correctness. Franco v. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2001 UT 25, ¶ 32, 21 P.3d 198 (internal quotation marks omitted). In reviewing a grant of summary judgment, we determine only whether the [district] court erred in applying the governing law and whether the [district] court correctly held that there were no disputed issues of material fact. Ryan v. Dan's Food Stores, Inc., 972 P.2d 395, 400 (Utah 1998) (internal quotation marks omitted).
