1. “When reviewing the grant or denial of summary judgment, we apply the same standard as the trial court. Summary judgment is proper only when the designated evidence shows that there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. All facts and reasonable inferences therefrom are construed in a light most favorable to the nonmovant. The statute of limitations defense is particularly suitable as a basis for summary judgment.

Any doubts as to the existence of a material issue are resolved in favor of the nonmovant.”
