Motions for summary judgment must comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 and Civil
Local Rule 7. With the exception of Social Security reviews, other actions for review
of administrative agency decisions, and other actions in which a Judge relieves the
parties of this Rule’s requirements, the following additional requirements must be
met:
(a) Movant’s Supporting Materials. The movant must file a brief that
includes: (1) all facts relied upon, each supported by a specific, pinpoint citation
to the record; and (2) argument supported by legal authority as appropriate.
The movant must also file all evidence relied upon. A movant seeking
affirmative relief other than, or in addition to, monetary damages (such as
declaratory or injunctive relief) must file a proposed judgment (not order or
opinion) granting such relief in the form sought by the movant. No other
supporting documents may be filed absent Court order.
(b) Non-Movant’s Response. Unless the Court orders otherwise, the non-
movant must file any response in opposition to the motion within twenty-eight
(28) days of service of the motion. The non-movant’s brief must include: (1) all
facts relied upon, each supported by a specific, pinpoint citation to the record;
(2) all challenges to the movant’s asserted facts; and (3) argument supported by
legal authority as appropriate. The non-movant must also file all evidence
relied upon. No other supporting documents may be filed absent Court order.
(c) Movant’s Reply. Unless the Court orders otherwise, any reply must be
filed within fourteen (14) days of service of the non-movant’s response.
(d) Effect of Uncontroverted Facts. The Court will deem uncontroverted
material facts to be admitted solely for the purpose of deciding the motion for
summary judgment.
(e) Stipulated Facts. Parties are encouraged to stipulate to facts. Facts so
stipulated do not require references to evidentiary support.
(f) Modification of Provisions in Particular Cases. The Court may
provide by order or other notice to the parties that different or additional
provisions regarding summary judgment motion practice apply.
