L.R. 56-3 Response to Statement of Genuine Disputes of Material Fact. Any moving party who files a reply to an opposition to a motion for summary judgment or partial summary judgment must file a "Response to Statement of Genuine Disputes," which must include every fact included in the opposing party's Statement of Genuine Disputes (in the same order, using the same numbers, and with all citations to the supporting evidence identified by either the moving or opposing party), and, for facts disputed by the opposing party, the moving party's response (with pinpoint citations including page and line numbers, if available, to evidence in the record) to rebut the existence of a genuine dispute. This Response to Statement of Genuine Disputes must be in substantially the following format:

Moving Party's Uncontroverted Facts and Supporting Evidence | Opposing Party's Response to Cited Fact and Supporting Evidence

1. The accident occurred on June 1, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. Evidence: Declaration of John Smith ("Smith Decl.") Ex. A (6/3/13 Def. Dep.) 5:5-10; Smith Decl. Ex. B (Witness A Decl.) ¶ 3. | 1. Undisputed.

2. The signal light was green in Defendant's direction when she entered into the intersection and immediately before Plaintiff's vehicle "ran" the red light and struck Defendant's truck. Evidence: 6/3/13 Def. Dep. 6:7-9. | 2. Disputed. Immediately before the accident, the light was green in Plaintiff's direction and Defendant ran the red light. Evidence: Declaration of William Jones ("Jones Decl.") Ex. A (6/8/13 Pl. Dep.) 10:2-5.

2. Moving Party's Response In the section of the deposition cited by Plaintiff, Plaintiff merely states that he "believe[s]" that the light was green when he drove into the intersection. Later in his deposition, he admitted that he had consumed a large amount of beer prior to the accident so he "do[esn't] clearly recall" whether the light was green. See 6/8/13 Pl. Dep. 12:5-13:12.
