We apply the same legal standard used by the district court under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)." Applied Genetics Int'l. Inc. v. First Affiliated Sec., Inc., 912 F.2d 1238, 1241 (10th Cir.1990) (citing Barnson v. United States, 816 F.2d 549, 552 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 896 (1987), and Osgood v. State Farm Mut.
