Description
This opinion addresses two appeals filed by Wesley G. Harline from separate grants of summary judgment, each in favor of the attorneys who represented Harline in connection with his bankruptcy before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah. After the bankruptcy court denied Harline's bankruptcy discharge, Harline brought two legal malpractice actions, the first against defendants Pete N. Vlahos and the law firm Vlahos and Sharp (collectively ""Vlahos""), and the second against defendants Ronald C. Barker and Larry Whyte. Both sets of attorneys moved for summary judgment, alleging that they were not the proximate cause of the denial of Harline's discharge. The trial court in each action granted the motion, ruling that Harline had failed to produce any record evidence that the attorneys had caused the denial of Harline's bankruptcy discharge. 1 Harline appeals both rulings. Because each appeal raises similar claims, we consider them together and discuss pertinent differences between them in our analysis as necessary. We affirm both rulings. "" '[I]n reviewing a grant of summary judgment, we view the facts and all reasonable inferences drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.' "" K & T, Inc. v. Koroulis, 888 P.2d 623, 624 (Utah 1994) (quoting Higgins v. Salt Lake County, 855 P.2d 231, 233 (Utah 1993)). Because summary judgment was entered against Harline in both cases, we state the facts in the light most favorable to him.
