The following excerpt is from Hollingsworth Solderless Terminal Co. v. Turley, 622 F.2d 1324 (9th Cir. 1980):
9 Defendant claims that some of the evidence relied on by plaintiff would be inadmissible at a trial, and thus that it cannot be considered in passing on the propriety of granting summary judgment. In general, only admissible evidence may properly be considered by a trial court in granting summary judgment. See, e. g., United States v. Dibble, 429 F.2d 598, 601-02 (9th Cir. 1970).
