How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining, in a non-jury case, the Court should refrain from drawing inferences from the evidence at the summary judgment stage where such inferences “involve issues of witness credibility or disputed material facts”
• “[A] district court must be aware that assessments of credibility come into sharper focus once live witnesses are heard.”
• “Where ‘the evidentiary facts are not disputed, a court in a nonjury case may grant summary judgment if trial would not enhance its ability to draw inferences and conclusions.’” (quoting Nunez v. Superior Oil Co., 572 F.2d 1119, 1124 (5th Cir. 1978))
