Description
LOHR, Justice We granted certiorari to review the decision of the Colorado Court of Appeals in People in the Interest of R.T.L.,
756 P.2d 383 (Colo. App. 1987), affirming the entry of summary judgment in a child support proceeding in favor of R.L., the
presumed father of a minor child, and against the People, acting through the Arapahoe County Department of Social Services
(Department). The Department initiated this action to obtain a court order that R.L. provide support for the minor child and
reimburse the Department for public assistance funds previously expended for the benefit of the child. R.L. filed a motion
to dismiss, or in the alternative for summary judgment, asserting that he was not the father of the child and therefore had
no obligation for support. The trial court granted R.L.'s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the Department's petition
for support on the ground that the materials submitted in support of the motion established that R.L. was not the father and
presented no genuine issue of material fact on that question. The court of appeals affirmed, and the Department petitioned
this court for certiorari review. We now affirm the judgment of the court of appeals, although for reasons other than those
set forth in the court of appeals' opinion. I.
