1. “| fiAppellate courts review a judgment granting or denying a motion for summary judgment de novo. Cutsinger v. Redfern, 08-2607 (La.5/22/09), 12 So.3d 945, 949 (citing Bonin v. Westport Ins. Corp., 05-0886 (La.5/17/06), 930 So.2d 906, 910 ). A motion for summary judgment will be granted “if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to material fact and that mover is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” La.[Code. Civ.P.] art. 966(B); Cutsinger, 12 So.3d at 949 . The summary judgment procedure is favored and is designed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of actions. La.[Code. Civ.P.] art. 966(A)(2); Cutsinger, 12 So.3d at 949 . Thus, we ask the same questions the trial court does in determining whether summary judgment is appropriate: whether there is any genuine issue of material fact, and whether the mover is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Cutsinger, 12 So.3d at 949 (citing Smith v. Our Lady of the Lake Hosp., 93-2512 (La.7/5/94), 639 So.2d 730, 750 ).”
