The first thing you need to find out is if the judgment order is actually subject to an appeal. The plaintiff needs to prove that he or she has been "aggrieved" by the judgment action.
The process is complicated and even though every citizen has the right to handle his or her own legal affairs especially in civil actions; it is not recommended that anyone who does not have an extensive grasp of the law attempt to file a Notice of Appeal regarding a summary judgment. The best option would be to consult with a qualified attorney concerning the specifics of the case ruling in question.

If you successfully dispute the facts required to get summary judgment and/or you dispute the application of the law that they reference, then their motion for summary judgment will likely fail.AnswerFortunately for you, all reasonable inferences the court must make will be decided in favor of the non-moving party (you). Keep in mind that summary judgment cannot be obtained or defeated by speculation or conjecture alone; there must be specific, concrete facts that establish the claim. If you believe that you are entitled to summary judgment, you may file a cross motion for summary judgment, which details why you are entitled to a summary judgment against the other party. In that case, you will be held to the same standard of proof as the person who is requesting summary judgment against you.

In Civil Court can you move to oppose a Summary judgment and Move for dismissal at the same time?
Without getting into the specifics of the bases for a summary judgment motion and a motion for dismissal (and there are many and may differ among states), they can be made simultaneously because they are not directed to the same aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion is directed to the factual aspect of the case while a motion for dismissal is directed to the procedural aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion alleges that there are no genuine issues as to the material facts of the case and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The motion for dismissal usually alleges that the other party has failed to abide by some procedural rule, the penalty for which is dismissal of the case. Two different theories. Opposition to a summary judgment motion indirectly requires some admission that there are facts that could go one way or another at trial. A motion for dismissal will allege that the other party has not done something required by the rules like providing discovery on time, or lack of prosecution of the case. Admitting that a jury could believe either side at a trial does not give up procedural reasons to dismiss the case.
