RULE 7056-1. SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(a) Statement of Undisputed Material Facts. Every motion for summary judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7056 must be accompanied by a statement of material facts which the movant contends are undisputed. Each fact must be set forth in a separate, numbered paragraph and supported by specific citation to material allowed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c) that establishes the fact. Failure to submit such a statement may constitute grounds for denial of the summary judgment motion.

(b) Response to Statement of Undisputed Material Facts. Every response to a motion for summary judgment must be accompanied by a response to the movant's statement of undisputed material facts. The response must separately address each paragraph of the movant's statement by— (1) agreeing that the fact is undisputed; (2) agreeing that the fact is undisputed for the purpose of summary judgment only; or (3) stating that the fact is disputed as demonstrated by specific citation to material allowed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). Absent a response in accordance with the requirements of this subdivision, the material facts set forth in the movant's statement will be deemed admitted.

(c) Statement of Additional Undisputed Material Facts. The respondent may file, with the response to the motion, a statement of additional material facts that the respondent contends are undisputed and require the denial of the motion. The movant must respond to the statement within 14 days after service of the statement of additional undisputed material facts. The content of the statement must be the same as prescribed in subdivision (a) of this rule, and the content of the response thereto must be the same as prescribed in subdivision (b) of this rule.
