Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 We conclude that, in this case, there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact. Accordingly, we affirm the district court s judgment. We dispense with oral argument 2 because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 3
