A plaintiff filed a civil action based on negligence against a defendant in federal district court, alleging that the defendant

negligently ran a red light at an intersection and collided with the plaintiff's vehicle, causing the plaintiff's injuries. A week after the close of discovery, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment on the issue of whether the defendant was negligent. With the motion, the plaintiff filed (i) his own sworn affidavit, which stated that the traffic signal was green as he entered the intersection, (ii) an affidavit of a witness who was driving the car behind him, which stated that the witness saw the entire incident and that the plaintiff's traffic signal was green as he approached and entered the intersection; and (iii) an affidavit of another witness, which stated that she saw the entire incident and that the defendant's signal had been red for several seconds before the defendant entered the intersection and was still red when the defendant entered the intersection. The defendant filed a response to the motion, noting that her answer denied negligence and further denied that her traffic signal was red, and argued that the issue of negligence and the issue of whether her traffic signal was red were in dispute, so those issues should be tried to a jury. How should the court rule on the plaintiff's motion?

Answer: the correct answer is (i) his own sworn affidavit, which stated that the traffic signal was green as he entered the intersection. The court should grant the plaintiff's motion. If a party fails to support an assertion of fact or fails to properly address another party's assertion of fact, the court may consider the fact undisputed for purposes of the motion, grant summary judgment if appropriate, give the party an opportunity to address the fact, or issue any other appropriate order. Here, the plaintiff came forward with affidavits supporting his contention that the light was red when the defendant entered the intersection. The defendant here must counter those affidavits with her own or risk summary judgment being entered against her.

Explanation: (ii) is incorrect because, in a summary judgment motion, a party may not rest on pleading allegations (save for the limited exceptions when the pleading is verified or when the pleadings show a material fact is not in dispute). (iii) is incorrect. Although the plaintiff bears the initial burden of coming forward with evidence, the plaintiff has done so here by presenting affidavits on the issue.

Basic features of map
trasher [3.6K]

Assuming you're asking about the features of an actual map,

- Title (Possibly a building, could be a city name, state or country)

- orientation (where is north) Cartographers today, put North (N) at the top of the map but that hasn't always been the same.

- Scale, though while not key to find that said building, but is a crucial part of the map making crafting. if the map is not to scale, that should be prominent.

- Longitude and Latiude, also not required for that building as mentioned, but desireable for surveyors and even more helpful with today's modern GPS systems.

- an index grid for ease of navigation

- a legend (or symbols translator), showing highway markers, buildings, uses stylized symbols and shapes sometimes.

other necessary information of maps may also include but not limited to: (direction, title, legend, scale, author/creator, date of creation, labels, border, sources of information, etc.)

What is the difference between a medium and a channel?​
Olin [163]

Answer:

A medium serves as the means of communication whereas a channel refers to the means of transmission of a message between the sender and the receiver.

A medium, which is an abstraction, can be oral , written or non verbal. Channel, on the other hand is concrete and could be a letter, a report, a book, a memorandum, a fax, an email, the television, the telephone, etc.

A sender conveys his/her message to the receiver by some medium (oral, written or non verbal) over some channel (electronic means or printed Media).

Hence medium is a broader term including an appropriate channel to succeed communication.

I hope this helps.

Thank you!
