Heading: district court's rulings on cross-motions for summary judgment

Text: In their fourth and fifth assignments of error, the Boneses contend the district court erred in granting Agri Affiliates' motion for summary judgment and in overruling the Boneses' motion for summary judgment. Having previously determined that the district court did not err in granting Agri Affiliates' motion for summary judgment, we determine the Boneses fourth assignment of error is without merit. In their fifth assignment of error, the Boneses assert the district court erred in failing to grant their motion for summary judgment on their counterclaim. The theory upon which the Boneses sought summary judgment was, in essence, the same as that espoused in opposing Agri Affiliates' motion. That is, as a result of Agri Affiliates' misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duties, the Boneses were entitled to damages. Having previously considered the evidence as it relates to the Boneses' opposition to Agri Affiliates' motion, and determining, after viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the Boneses, that the record does not support their assertions, we likewise determine the district court did not err in overruling the Boneses' motion for summary judgment and in dismissing their counterclaim. The Boneses' fifth assignment of error is without merit.
