[¶ 1] Cеcile Fongemie Quirion appeals from a summary judgment entered against her in the Superior Court (Penobscot County, Hjelm, J.) on her сomplaint for negligence against Kevin Geroux, d/b/a Modern Decorators, brought following Quirion’s injury from an awning that fell off the Hampton Inn in Bangor. 1 Quirion contends that genuine issues of material fact remain with respect to her claim of negligence. We disаgree with Quirion and we affirm the judgment.
I. BACKGROUND
[¶ 2] Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Quirion, as the nonmov-ing party,
see Marcoux v. Parker Hannijin/Nichols Portland Div.,
[¶ 3] The awning was first placed on the building at the time that thе building was constructed approximately nine years prior to Quirion’s injury. The awning had been attached to the building through clips that wеre in turn attached to raw bolts embedded in the stucco of the building. Both the medical record from the hospital to which Quirion wаs taken the day of her injury and a doctor’s record of later treatment of her injuries reflect that she informed the doctors that the awning was blown from the building by the wind. In her opposing statement of material facts, submitted in response to the motions for summary judgment, Quirion stated that “the only way the ‘raw bolts’ [anchored in the building] could come out of the wall would be to be pulled out by strong wind on thе awning.”
[¶4] A little over one month prior to the accident, Geroux had removed the awnings from the building, painted them, and then reattаched them to the building. Geroux did not remove the raw bolts from the building, however, nor is there any evidence that he otherwise loosened them. After the awnings were painted and reattached to the building, the manager of the hotel visually inspected the аwnings. As a matter of general maintenance, however, the awnings were not periodically checked to determine whеther they were secure.
[¶ 5] Quirion filed a complaint against Hanover in the Superior Court alleging negligence. Hanover answered the complaint denying that it was negligent, and then filed a third-party complaint against Geroux, alleging that if anyone had been negligent, it was Geroux. After Geroux answered Hanover’s complaint, Quirion amended her complaint to include Geroux аs a second defendant.
[¶ 6] Following discovery, Geroux moved for summary judgment. Both Hanover and Quirion opposed Geroux’s motion, and Hanover separately argued that if Geroux was entitled to summary judgment on the negligence claim, then it, too, was entitled to summary judgment. The court entered a summary judgment in favor of Geroux on both Quirion’s complaint and on' Hanover’s third-party comрlaint. The court noted that both motion opponents agreed that the summary judgment record disclosed no direct evidence of negligence by Geroux. The court concluded that, because the evidence indicated that the incident was сaused by a strong wind, “the record does not support the aspect of a res ipsa negligence claim that is predicated on evidence (direct or otherwise) that the accident would not have happened in the absence of negligence.”
[¶ 7] The court concluded that Quirion had provided no evidence that Hanover was negligent in hiring Geroux, or that Gеroux was negligent in removing, painting, or replacing the awning. Quirion filed this appeal of the summary judgments entered in favor of both Gеroux and Hanover. Hanover and Quirion later entered into a settlement agreement, and thus the appeal from the summary judgment in favor of Geroux is the only matter still before us.
II. DISCUSSION
[¶ 8] Quirion argues that the court erred by finding that there was no genuine issue of materiаl fact that Geroux owed a duty of care to Quirion, and that Geroux had breached that duty by creating an unreasonably dangеrous condition on the premises, as a result of which, Quirion was harmed.

[¶ 9] “Summary judgment is properly granted if the facts are not in disputе or, if the defendant has moved for summary judgment, the evidence favoring the plaintiff is insufficient to support a verdict for the plаintiff as a matter of law.”
Curtis v. Porter,
[¶ 10] Quirion contends that there is sufficient evidence to allow a jury to conclude that Geroux is liable for the harm caused to her when the awning that he had worked on only one month prior to the accident fell from the building. “A non-possessor [of land] whо negligently creates a dangerous condition on the land may be liable for reasonably foreseeable harms.”
Colvin v. A R Cable Serv.-ME, Inc.,
[¶ 11] The еvidence cited in the parties’ Rule 56(h) statements reveals that the cause of the injury to Quirion was that the bolts seeming the awning tо the building were pulled from the building by a strong wind, which caused the awning to fall and hit Quirion. There is no evidence, however, that Geroux removed and replaced the bolts or otherwise loosened or disturbed the bolts when he removed and replaced the аwnings. Geroux did owe a duty to Quirion and other hotel patrons to not cause an unreasonably dangerous condition through his work on the awnings, but the evidence generates no genuine issues of material fact that he breached that duty, or that any such breаch was the cause of Quirion’s injuries. Accordingly, the Superior Court correctly entered a summary judgment on Quirion’s negligence сlaim against Geroux.
The entry is:
Judgment affirmed.
Notes
. Quirion also sued Hanover Associates, the owner and operator of the Hampton Inn. The Superiоr Court also entered a summary judgment in favor of Hanover. Quirion appealed the summary judgments as to both Geroux and Hanovеr, but Hanover and Quirion entered into a settlement during the pendency of the appeal, and therefore, Quirion's suit against Geroux is the only matter that we address in this opinion.
