LR Cv 56 MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(a) Statement of Undisputed Facts.

(1) A motion for summary judgment shall be accompanied by a separate Statement of Undisputed Facts that concisely sets forth all facts that the movant contends are undisputed and entitle the movant to judgment as a matter of law.

(2) The Statement of Undisputed Facts shall be a separate filing, not an attachment to the motion for summary judgment. Each "fact" shall be set forth in a separate, numbered paragraph and shall identify the evidence establishing that fact, including the page and line of any document to which reference is made, unless opposing counsel has expressly acknowledged that the fact is undisputed.

(3) For purposes of a motion for summary judgment, any fact alleged in the movant's Statement of Undisputed Facts shall be deemed admitted unless expressly denied or otherwise controverted by a party objecting to the motion. An objecting party that is contesting the movant's Statement of Undisputed Facts shall file a Statement of Disputed Facts, which shall be numbered correspondingly to the Statement of Undisputed Facts, and which shall identify the evidence establishing the dispute, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (a)(2).

(4) If an objecting party contends that there are additional undisputed facts not contained in the moving party's statement of undisputed facts which preclude summary judgment, that party shall file a separate Statement of Undisputed Facts setting forth such additional undisputed facts. Such statement shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (a)(2), except that the additional undisputed facts shall be numbered consecutively to the moving party's undisputed facts.

(5) If an objecting party files a separate statement of additional undisputed facts and the movant contests any of those facts, the movant shall file a separate statement setting forth what additional facts are disputed, numbered correspondingly to the opposing party's additional undisputed facts, at the same time it files its reply pursuant to LR Cv 7.

(b) Supporting Documents. Unless otherwise requested or permitted by the Court, only the relevant portion(s) of documents submitted in support of or in opposition to a motion for summary judgment shall be included in the attachments.

(c) Successive Motions. No party shall file more than one motion for summary judgment unless the Court otherwise permits for good cause shown.

(d) Objections and Replies. The timing and filing of objections and replies in connection with motions for summary judgment shall be governed by LR Cv 7, unless otherwise directed by the Court.

Effective 12/1/17: §(a)(1),(2), and (5) amended. Effective 1/3/11: §(d) added. Effective 1/5/09: §§(a)(2) and (a)(4) amended; §(a)(5) added. Effective 4/10/08: §§(a)(1) and (a)(4) amended. Effective 3/17/08: §§(a)(3) and (a)(4) amended.
