Motion for attorneys’ fees
probability, no act or omission attributable to Dr. Juarez caused or contributed to plaintiff’s injuries. (SSUMF No. 7.)
Defendant presents sufficient evidence to support his initial burden of showing entitlement to judgment on plaintiff Haley Gascon’s claim for medical negligence and plaintiff Christopher Gates’ associated claim for loss of consortium.
The burden therefore shifts to plaintiffs to show one or more triable issues of material fact. As plaintiffs submitted no evidence and in fact filed a notice of non-opposition, plaintiffs fall short of their burden.
Based on the foregoing, defendant Richard G. Juarez’s motion for summary judgment is granted.
