The district court properly granted summary judgment because Lyn failed to
raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant caused the foreign
substance to be on the floor, or whether defendant had actual or constructive notice
of a hazardous condition and failed to remedy it. See Sprague v. Lucky Stores,
Inc., 849 P.2d 320, 322-23 (Nev. 1993) (setting forth requirements for premises
liability under a negligence theory); see also Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477
U.S. 242, 249-50 (1986) (“If the [nonmoving party’s] evidence is merely colorable,
or is not significantly probative, summary judgment may be granted.” (internal
citations omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
