0926 REVIEW DENIED If defendant's papers in support of the motion for summary judgment were not sufficient to negate an element of the plaintiff's cause of action, the burden did not shift to plaintiff to establish that there was a triable issue, but if plaintiff's papers in opposition to the motion negated an element of the plaintiff's cause of action, the burden of showing that a triable issue existed did shift to the plaintiff.CitationVILLA v MCFERREN (Shifting Burdens) 35 CA4 733 [See: CCP 437c; Union Bank v SuperCt 31 CA4 573, T/AT 2/95; Celotex v Catrett 477 US 317]
