GARY R. WADE, J.,
concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
The majority has resolved the summary judgment issue by applying the federal standard recently adopted by this Court in Rye v. Women’s Care Center of Memphis, MPLLC, 477 S.W.3d 235, 2015 WL 6457768, No. W2013-00804-SC-R11-CV (Tenn.2015). As explained in my dissent in Rye, I disagree with the adoption of the federal standard and would instead retain our former summary judgment standard. In this instance, however, I would reach the same conclusion as the majority pursuant to the former standard. Accordingly, I concur in the judgment.
