The bank provided evidence it was entitled to enforce the note and there were no genuine issues of material fact concerning its standing to commence foreclosure. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the testimony of Stevens's proffered experts. Stevens failed to meet his reciprocal burden to set forth specific facts demonstrating a genuine issue of material fact, and he had no standing to contest the assignment of the note and mortgage to Chase.
