1171 A defendant moving for summary judgment can meet its initial burden either by offering affirmative evidence negating one or more elements of plaintiff's case, or by showing that plaintiff's responses to interrogatories asking for all facts supporting plaintiffs cause of action were factually devoid as to one or more elements, thus shifting to plaintiff the burden of showing that triable issues of fact exist.
