Document Filing Requirements37 rules
A statement of material facts shall be filed with the motion for summary judgment as provided in the attached Modified Rule 56.1.
At least 20 days before the time fixed for the hearing, the nonmovant must serve a response that includes the nonmovant's supporting factual position as provided in subdivision (1) above.
A party asserting that a fact is undisputed or genuinely disputed must support the assertion by citing record materials or by showing that the cited materials do not establish the dispute or that the adverse party cannot produce admissible evidence.
Court's wording
A party asserting that a fact cannot be or is genuinely disputed must support the assertion by: A. citing to particular parts of materials in the record, including depositions, documents, electronically stored information, affidavits or declarations, stipulations (including those made for purposes of the motion only), admissions, interrogatory answers, or other materials; or B. showing that the materials cited do not establish the absence or presence of a genuine dispute, or that an adverse party cannot produce admissible evidence to support the fact.
An affidavit or declaration used to support or oppose a motion must be made on personal knowledge, set out facts that would be admissible in evidence, and show that the affiant or declarant is competent to testify on the matters stated.
If a nonmovant shows by affidavit or declaration that, for specified reasons, it cannot present facts essential to justify its opposition, the court may:
An opponent’s Statement of Material Facts shall clearly challenge any purportedly material fact asserted by the movant that the opponent contends is genuinely in dispute.
The movant’s Statement of Material Facts shall list the material facts that the movant contends are not genuinely disputed.
Statements of Material Facts must use separately numbered paragraphs, each limited as far as practicable to one material fact and supported by specific pinpoint references to record material.
Court's wording
B. Consist of separately numbered paragraphs, limited as far as practicable to a single material fact, with each fact supported by specific, pinpoint references to particular parts of record material, including depositions, documents, electronically stored information, affidavits, stipulations (including those made for purposes of the motion only), admissions, and interrogatory answers (e.g., Exhibit D, Smith Affidavit, ¶2; Exhibit 3, Jones deposition, p. 12/lines 4-9).
The movant shall respond to any additional facts asserted in the opponent’s Statement of Material Facts even if the movant does not serve a reply memorandum.
A motion for summary judgment and the opposition to it shall each be accompanied by a separate and contemporaneously filed and served Statement of Material Facts.
All Statements of Material Facts (whether filed by the movant or the opponent) shall be filed and served as separate documents and not as exhibits or attachments.
When disputing a fact, the opponent’s supporting evidentiary citations must be specific to that dispute.
Court's wording
If an opponent’s Statement of Material Facts disputes a fact in the movant’s Statement of Material Facts, then the evidentiary citations supporting the opponent’s position must be limited to evidence specific to that particular dispute.
An opponent’s Statement of Material Facts must follow the movant’s order and paragraph numbering without repeating the movant’s text.
Court's wording
(A) In addition to complying with the requirements of sub-section (b)(1), an opponent’s Statement of Material Facts shall correspond with the order and paragraph numbering format used by the movant, but it shall not repeat the text of the movant’s paragraphs.
An opponent’s Statement of Material Facts shall use, as the very first word in each paragraph-by-paragraph response, the word “disputed” or “undisputed.”
If an opponent’s Statement of Material Facts includes additional facts, then the movant shall respond to each additional fact in a separately served Reply Statement of Material Facts.
An opponent’s additional material facts must immediately follow its responses, continue the movant’s numbering, and appear under a separate “Additional Facts” title.
Court's wording
Any additional facts that an opponent contends are material to the motion for summary judgment shall be numbered and placed immediately after the opponent’s response to the movant’s Statement of Material Facts. The additional facts shall use separately numbered paragraphs beginning with the next number following the movant’s last numbered paragraph. The additional facts shall be separately titled as “Additional Facts”
The Reply Statement must follow the opponent’s additional-fact order and numbering, begin each paragraph with “disputed” or “undisputed,” and cite particular record materials for disputes.
Court's wording
The Reply Statement of Material Facts shall correspond with the order and paragraph numbering format used in the opponent’s additional facts, identifying with the very first word in each fact as “disputed” or “undisputed” at the beginning of each paragraph in the statement, and, if disputed, citing to particular parts of materials in the record in the same manner as required by subsections (b)(1) and(b)(2).
The parties are reminded that strict compliance with Rule 56.1 as modified herein is required.
A statement of material facts must be supported by specific references to pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, admissions, and affidavits on file with the Court.

The moving party shall file a statement of material facts as a separate filing from a motion for summary judgment.
A responding party may file an opposing statement, and if it does, must reproduce each numbered paragraph and detail its response or opposition after each one.
Court's wording
The responding party may file an opposing statement of material facts which responds to the moving party’s statement of material facts. A responding party’s opposing statement of material facts must specifically respond to each statement in the movant’s statement by setting forth each of the individually numbered paragraphs contained in the movant’s statement and after each paragraph, detail respondent’s response or opposition.
Within twenty-four (24) hours of filing a motion for summary judgment, the movant shall separately file an index of the cited exhibits which names each exhibit and references the docket entry at which that exhibit may be found.
If a deposition transcript is referenced, a complete copy must be filed which includes all exhibits.

Court's wording
Each material fact in the statement that requires evidentiary support shall be set forth in an individually numbered paragraph and supported by a specific citation.

A material fact may be deemed admitted if not controverted, but only if it has properly cited record support and no Rule 56 exception applies.
Court's wording
All material facts in any party’s Statement of Material Facts may be deemed admitted unless controverted by the other party’s Statement of Material Facts, provided that: (i) the Court finds that the material fact at issue is supported by properly cited record evidence; and (ii) any exception under Fed.
