Plaintiff appeals from an order granting the motion for summary judgment made by defendants Lutheran General Hospital and Lutheran Medical Center, claiming there are material questions of fact remaining for a jury’s decision. Briefly, her petition alleges that on January 6, 1984, while she was a patient in the hospital, she was sexually assaulted by a male nurse employee of the hospital, causing her damages; her claim for recovery was based on respondeat superior and on the hospital’s negligent hiring of the nurse.

From a full reading of the record, , there is no merit to this appeal, since the order is supported by substantial evidence establishing that defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter of law and, particularly, since plaintiff failed to produce any controverting evidence, which was her duty. Witherspoon v. Sides Constr. Co., 219 Neb. 117, 362 N.W.2d 35 (1985).

Affirmed.
